Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons olive oil
4 standard issue lunch-size brown paper bags
4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
2 ripe papayas, skinned, seeded, then diced into 1/4-inch cubes. If papayas are unavailable, replace with a mango.
4 scallions, trimmed then diced
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, chopped
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
4 tablespoons red bell pepper or red cabbage (for color), finely chopped
2 jalapeno chilies, seeds and membranes removed, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the outside of each bag and rub it with your hand until all surfaces of the bag have absorbed the oil.
  • Rinse fillets, then pat dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, lime juice, and ginger.
  • Set bags on their broad side and place one fillet flat inside each bag. Then, using a tablespoon, reach into the bag and spoon one quarter of the soy-lime-ginger mixture over each of the fillets. Force excess air from the bags, roll up the open ends and tightly crimp to seal shut.
  • Bake on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes.
  • Combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly with a fork.
  • To serve, tear a small slit in the bags, peel back the paper just enough to expose the fish, then spoon Papaya Salsa overtop of bag. Serve immediately.

GRILLED PACIFIC HALIBUT WITH MANGO SALSA



Grilled Pacific Halibut With Mango Salsa image

This sweet and spicy salsa goes beautifully with a firm, white fish like halibut. Make sure your mango is very ripe. Mangos are a good source of potassium, vitamin A and beta-carotene. You would think that such a sweet fruit would be high in calories, but because of all the water in a juicy mango, the caloric content is relatively low - about 135 calories in a whole mango, according to nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden.

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large, ripe mango
2 serrano chiles, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup finely diced jicama
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
4 6-ounce Pacific halibut fillets or steaks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 limes, cut in wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Finely dice the mango. Cut down the broad side of the mango, slightly off center, from the stem end to the tip end. The knife should scrape against the side of the pit. Repeat on the other side, cutting as close to the pit as possible. Cut the flesh from the sides of the pit, following the curve of the pit. Lay each half on your cutting surface, and score with the tip of your knife in a cross-hatch pattern, down to the skin but not through it. Turn the mango half inside out, and slice the cubes away from the skin. Then cut the cubes into very small dice.
  • Toss the mango in a bowl with the chiles, cilantro, mint, jicama and lime juice. Season with salt if desired. Cover the bowl, and allow to sit for an hour while you prepare your grill.
  • Heat a medium-hot grill (or heat an indoor griddle or grill pan). Season the halibut fillets or steaks with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the fish directly over the coals, and grill for four to five minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should be opaque all the way through, and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
  • Remove the fish to a plate or a platter. Serve with the salsa spooned partially over the fish and partially on the side. Alternately, spoon the salsa onto plates and set the fish on top. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh halibut steaks: Look for steaks that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell.
  • Marinate the halibut: Marinating the halibut in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to tenderize the fish and infuse it with flavor.
  • Grill the halibut over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will also allow it to cook evenly.
  • Flip the halibut once during grilling: Use a spatula to gently flip the halibut once it is cooked through on one side. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the halibut with a mango-papaya salad: This salad is a refreshing and flavorful complement to the grilled halibut. The sweetness of the mango and papaya pairs well with the mild flavor of the fish.

Conclusion:

Grilled halibut with mango-papaya salad is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The halibut is tender and flaky, while the mango-papaya salad is refreshing and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
