Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and pepper
1 lime, juiced
3 small to medium ripe Haas avocados, pitted and scooped from skins with a large spoon

1 heart Romaine lettuce
12 soft (6-inch) flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan or indoor grill to high heat or, prepare outdoor grill. Drizzle halibut with extra-virgin olive oil to keep fish from sticking to the grill pan or grill. Season fish with salt and pepper, to your taste. Roll lime on the counter top to get juices flowing. Also, any under ripe citrus may be placed in a microwave oven for 10 seconds at high setting to induce the juices to flow. Grill fish 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until opaque. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime down over the fish and remove from the grill pan or grill. Flake fish into large chunks with a fork.
  • While fish is cooking, in a blender or food processor, combine avocado flesh, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, yogurt and salt. Process guacamole sauce until smooth. Remove guacamole sauce to a bowl and stir in diced tomatoes and chopped scallions. Shred lettuce and reserve.
  • When fish comes off the grill pan or grill, blister and heat soft taco wraps. To assemble, break up fish and pile some of the meat into soft shells and slather with guacamole sauce. Top with shredded lettuce, fold tacos over and eat!

1 avocado (preferably California)
fresh lemon juice for rubbing the avocado

2 tablespoons water plus, if desired, additional to thin the sauce

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH SAUCE GRIBICHE



Grilled Halibut with Sauce Gribiche image

You might not be familiar with the French sauce gribiche, but it's very tasty and you can make an easy version at home. I think of it as a mix of egg salad and tartar sauce, which makes it perfect for fish in my opinion. Chefs also use gribiche on meats that need zing or to balance out the gaminess of dishes like beef tongue. Most people love salmon, but I really think halibut is the versatile vanilla ice cream of fish. Its mild flavor and meatiness are great for both fish lovers and folks who are undecided.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) white wine vinegar
3 ounces (90 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 5 cornichons, cut into small dice
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) capers
3 hard-boiled eggs (see Cook's Note), peeled and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) chopped parsley
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce (170-gram) skinless halibut fillets, each about 1-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil, more to taste

Steps:

  • For the sauce gribiche: Add mustard, vinegar and olive oil in a mini prep food processor. Pulse about 3 to 5 times until emulsified. Add the cornichons, capers and eggs, pulse two more times until the mixture is combined but still chunky and uneven. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the parsley and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until serving.
  • For the halibut: When ready to grill, preheat one side of the grill to high and leave one side cool, creating indirect heat. Season each fillet with salt, pepper and paprika. Drizzle olive oil on top.
  • Place the fillets over the cool side of the grill, close the lid and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes. For more color, you can finish the fish on the hot side for about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with 2 to 3 tablespoons of sauce gribiche on each fillet, or more if you wish.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 (6 ounce) halibut fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 sprigs cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons butter
4 green onions, finely chopped
¼ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup half-and-half cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
  • Rub the halibut fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish, then press the cilantro leaves onto the top of the halibut. Bake the halibut in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.

Pour in the white wine, and season with dill and tarragon. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the chicken broth, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then dissolve the flour into the water, and stir into the boiling sauce. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the halibut to serve.
