Instructions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Cut 1 orange into slices; place in the inside cavity of the fish.
Place fish on banana leaves; brush generously with barbecue sauce on both sides. Wrap fish in leaves.
Grill fish 35 to 40 min., turning several times, or until cooked through and fish flakes easily with a fork.
Meanwhile, section remaining oranges by cutting a 1/2-inch thick slice off the top and bottom ends of oranges.
Cut the peel and the pith away from the fruit with a sharp paring knife, using a downward motion that follows the shape of the orange.
Cut the orange segments into small cubes; place in a medium bowl.
Add any juice from oranges, hearts of palm, onions, cilantro and ham.
Serve fruit salsa with fish.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Fish works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The FitVine Wine Pinot Grigio with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 18 dollars per bottle.
FitVine Wine Pinot Grigio
This slightly dry white wine is clear in color. It's clean, crisp, great tasting with floral notes on the nose and flavors of green apple and a hint of citrus. Finish is fresh.Enjoy tonight without sacrificing tomorrow.
