3-4 cucumbers diced (and seeded if large)
1/2 red onion, peeled, and diced
1 mango, peeled and diced
1 bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
1/2 lime juiced 
1 tsp of Mrs. Dash )sodium substitute)

Captain Jim's Grilled Cod
2 cod fillets
1 lemon
olive oil (drizzle)
sea salt & pepper
Bunch of fresh dill (chopped)

Preheat grill to 400.  Take 2 large sheets of foil.  Lay cod on 1 sheet of foil.  Drizzle with olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle 1/2 of the dill on one side.  Flip the cod over and repeat.  Drizzle the olive oil, & season.  Fold both sheets of foil up so that they make a pouch and seal the fish completely.  Turn the grill down to low.  Put fish on rack, close cover, and grill for 7-8 min.  Flip the foil pouch and grill for another 7-8 min.  Take off the grill and let sit for 2 min.  Open and squeeze fresh lemon and remaining dill on top.  (You can also serve with cucumber mango salsa)
