Cherries aren't only for jams and pies—these juicy, ruby-red summer beauties are ripe for the picking in a refreshing salsa that tops simple grilled fish.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for grill grates
½ pound (2 cups) Bing cherries, pitted and coarsely chopped
½ small red onion, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed), minced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
½ teaspoon ground coriander
4 tilapia fillets (4 to 6 ounces each)

Directions

Heat grill to high; lightly oil grates. In a medium bowl, combine cherries, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine; set salsa aside.
In a small bowl, stir together coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub tilapia all over with oil; sprinkle with spice mixture.
Grill tilapia until opaque around the edges and underside loosens easily from grill, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a metal spatula with a thin blade, flip fish; continue to cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve tilapia topped with cherry salsa.
