Mom got this recipe for daddy from a local dietician. I never thought he would go for this dish, but he loves it and so do I. The hint of sour lime along with the sweetness of the peach salsa make a great combination.

Sounds fussy but it's actually a quick and easy after work dinner for two people. I've only done this with the catfish but I imagine any other firm-fleshed fish would work as well. I found this in the Chicago Tribune 'Dinner Tonight' column.
