Grilled or Pan-Seared Grouper with Tomato Relish
When it comes to cooking on a warm day, I’ll always choose the ‘cue. The tomato relish is especially good with real vine-ripened summer tomatoes, not the ones from the grocery store that claim to be vine-ripened. Who are they kidding?

Instructions
- To prepare the rub, combine all rub ingredients in a small bowl and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Brush mixture on both sides of the fish.
