Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 limes
2 cloves garlic, quartered
1 small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems (about 2 cups packed)
1 small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems (about 2 cups packed)
1 bunch scallions, half coarsely chopped and half finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound skinless halibut fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 cups packed finely shredded savoy cabbage (about 8 ounces)
2/3 cup sour cream
8 to 12 corn tortillas, warmed
Prepared salsa verde, for serving

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 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.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds halibut steaks about 1 1/4 inches thick, preferably 4 small- to medium- size steaks or two large ones
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • If you have two large halibut steaks cut each in half, making four portions.
  • Combine the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder and garlic in a shallow dish large enough to hold the halibut steaks in a single layer. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Place the halibut steaks in the dish, turn them once, cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Turn them again and marinate another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat grill or broiler to very hot. Grill or broil the halibut steaks until lightly browned on one side, about six minutes, then turn and cook them on the other side. Baste them with the marinade a couple of times during cooking.
  • When the fish is done, place the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Spoon the heated marinade over the fish and serve at once.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest halibut you can find. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has an off odor.
  • Grill the halibut over high heat. This will help to sear the fish and give it a nice crust. Be careful not to overcook the fish, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or rub. This will help to add flavor to the fish and keep it moist. Some good options include a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or a rub made with chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • Serve the halibut with a simple sauce or salsa. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish. Some good options include a lime-cilantro sauce, a salsa verde, or a mango salsa.

Conclusion:

Grilled halibut is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to prepare. By following these tips, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dinner, give grilled halibut a try!
