Steps:
- Season halibut with salt and pepper one hour before cooking. Place in refrigerator.
- Lightly oil a non-stick pan with canola or vegetable oil. Over high heat, sear each side of the halibut filets for five seconds each.
- Searing the filets will cook a fine layer on the outside of the fish so that it will not stick to the barbecue. Because of the moistness and flakiness of halibut, this will prevent the halibut from sticking and falling through the grates of your barbecue grill. This is a great tip when barbecuing all types of fish, but works especially well with halibut.
- Remove halibut from pan and turn heat down to medium. Add olive oil and garlic to pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine or chicken stock, cilantro, lime juice , lime zest and olive oil to the sauté pan and heat until hot but not boiling.
- Remove sauce from heat and baste fish on both sides. Cook on barbecue grill for 3 minutes per side, basting constantly while cooking. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Finely grate the zest of one of the limes and add it to the bowl of a mini food processor. Squeeze in the juice of the lime and add the garlic, cilantro, coarsely chopped scallions, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until roughly chopped. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon water and continue to pulse until the mixture becomes a chunky sauce.
- Toss the halibut in a bowl with all but 1 tablespoon of the sauce and let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes while you prepare the cabbage and the sour cream.
- In a large bowl, toss the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro sauce with the cabbage, finely chopped scallions, the juice of the second lime, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, the juice of the remaining lime and a pinch of salt.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add about half of the fish, so the pieces are in a single layer, and cook, turning, until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate and cook the remaining fish with the remaining oil. Divide the fish among the tortillas and top with cabbage. Serve with the sour cream and salsa verde on the side.

Tips:
- Choose a Thick Cut of Halibut: Opt for halibut steaks or fillets that are at least 1 inch thick for grilling, as thinner pieces tend to overcook quickly.
- Marinate the Halibut: Marinating the halibut in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices enhances its taste and keeps it moist during grilling.
- Grill Over Medium-High Heat: Grill the halibut over medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F) to achieve a nice sear on the outside while cooking the fish evenly throughout.
- Flip Only Once: Resist the urge to flip the halibut multiple times while grilling. Flip it only once, when the underside is nicely browned and cooked through.
- Cook to Proper Temperature: To ensure the halibut is cooked to perfection, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Make a Vibrant Cilantro Cream Sauce: Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, and spices to create a tangy and refreshing sauce that complements the grilled halibut perfectly.

Grilled Halibut with Cilantro Cream is a delightful dish that showcases the delicate flavors of fresh halibut.
