Use swordfish or tuna instead of salmon, if you like, or substitute other varieties of beans. If you’d like to cook your own beans instead of using the canned ones, 1 cup of dried beans yields 3 cups cooked.
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the barbecue to high, or set the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil sprayed with cooking oil.
2. To make the salsa, combine the black beans, white beans, tomatoes, green pepper, onion and cilantro. Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and chili paste together. Pour over the bean mixture and toss to combine.
3. Barbecue the fish, or bake uncovered in the center of the oven, for approximately 10 minutes for each inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes when pierced with a fork.
4. To serve, spoon the bean salsa on a plate or platter and place the fish overtop.
