    Method: 

    Using a fork, mash 1 cup of the watermelon in a wide, shallow dish until all juices are released. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, oil, salt and pepper to make a marinade. Add halibut, turn to coat, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.

    Toss together remaining 1 cup watermelon, remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, green onions, cayenne, and salt and pepper to make a salsa. Set aside.

    Grill halibut over moderate heat until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Transfer fish to a serving platter and top with salsa. Serve immediately.
