Sea Bass "ceviche-Kebabs" With Avocado Melon Salsa

Don't let the name Ceviche scare you away from trying this recipe. The fish gets cooked!(albeit very shortly) I love the fresh flavors of Ceviche but had a hard time getting my loved ones to eat what they considered to be 'raw fish' (no they dont' eat sushi either, poor things) So I came up with this compromise, that even my 6 year old will eat (sans Jalepeno) I only recently added the salsa which I got from last summers issue of Gourmet (or Bon Apetit, I get them confused) The flavor of the fish gets buttery once grilled, especially when using sea bass, and the salsa adds a nice balance. WE LOVE THIS DISH! Serve with some yellow rice!
