Prepare the fresh fruit salsa (see page 107). Cut the salmon and halibut into 1-inch cubes and season with the salt.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium - high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until just cooked. Add the chipotle chilies and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
