Unique fish recipes incorporating fruit?

Well the basic flounder with lemon gave me the idea of posting this question. Do you know of any unique fish recipes incorporating fruit?Unique fish recipes incorporating fruit?
FRUITY FISH





FISH:





1 lg. fish (approximately 4-6 oz. per person)


Salt


Pepper


Cayenne Pepper


Assorted fruits (apples, pears, maraschino cherries, pineapple, plums, peaches,


mandarin oranges, any others)


1 can yams


Sliced French bread





SAUCE:





1 c. bourbon or whiskey


8 oz. brown sugar


1/2 c. drombuie


3 tsp. mustard (prepared or Dijon)


1 tsp. ginger


1 tsp. cinnamon


1 tsp. dry mustard


1/2 c. orange juice


Raisin (optional)





SAUCE: Place all the ingredients into a double boiler and cook for 1 hour until thickened. Stir occasionally.


FISH: Use whole fish, head and tail attached, deeply score the fish into approximately 1-inch squares. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Place the whole fish into a buttered baking pan. Add as many fruits as you would like. If you are using canned fruit, add the packing juices into the pan as well. This will produce a nice basting sauce.





Place the fish into the oven at 350 degrees. Baste the fish with the juices for flavor and to keep the fish from drying out. Cooking time will depend on size of fish.Unique fish recipes incorporating fruit?

Lime is good on Tilapia.
Try cutting up a mango into small chunks and baking it with a salmon filet. Unconventional...but tasty.
