1-1/2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon paprika
3 cloves garlic, minced
For the salsa:

1 small onion, diced
2 jalapeño chiles, seeded and diced
8 to 10 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
Salt
Sugar and/or lime juice, if needed
For the mango 'guacamole':
3 ripe mangos
1/2 small onion, very finely chopped
1 jalapeño chile or habanero chile, seeded and finely chopped
1 ripe tomato, cored and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint
1/2 teaspoon salt

Warm flour tortillasRecipe
To prepare the snapper: Rinse fish and pat dry. Combine orange juice,
oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic in a resealable plastic bag. Add
fish and seal bag; turn to coat fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1
to 2 hours. While fish is marinating, make the salsa: Place the
pineapple rings and peach halves in the center of the cooking grate and
grill 5 to 7 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking time. Remove
from grill and allow to cool. Dice and place in a small bowl. Add the
onion, jalapeño, and cilantro; mix well. Season with salt. Adjust
tartness with either sugar or lime juice. Let rest for 30 to 60 minutes
before serving so flavors can blend. To make the "guacamole": Peel
mangos and cut fruit off each side and ends of the pit. In a
medium-sized bowl, mash mango with a fork and combine with the remaining
guacamole ingredients until well mixed but still lumpy. Chill until
ready to serve.
Remove fish from marinade and blot on a paper towel. Lightly brush both
sides of fish with oil to prevent sticking to cooking grate. Place fish
skin side down in center of cooking grate. Grill 8 to 10 minutes or
until fish is opaque and flakes with a fork, turning once halfway
through grilling time. Remove from grill and serve with the salsa,
guacamole, and tortillas.
Note: Always wear gloves when handling chiles, especially the extra hot
habanero, and be careful not to get any in your eyes. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling chiles and keep chiles out of the reach of
children.
