For the salsa

Make the salsa. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients except for the salt, pepper and sugar. (If there's a lot of liquid in it, strain it a bit and save the juices for another use like salad dressing.) Mix gently and then season to taste with salt, pepper and granulated sugar. (Here's How to Season to Taste.) Set aside.

For the fish

Sauté the fish. Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan (cast iron is ideal) with grapeseed oil and place it over high heat. While the pan is heating, place the fish on a clean dry surface and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the pan is hot, add the fish, skin side down. (You should hear a sizzling sound when the fish hits the pan -- if you don't hear the sizzle, wait! If the pan isn't hot enough, the skin won't get brown and crisp!) Flip the fish over after about 3 minutes, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook just until the fish is almost cooked through, about 2 more minutes. It should still be slightly translucent in the center. (I do this in two batches in a 14 inch skillet -- you don't want to crowd the pan!)

Serve. Serve skin side up and top each fillet with some of the salsa.
