Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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 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.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH CREAMY GUACAMOLE SAUCE



Grilled Halibut with Creamy Guacamole Sauce image

Categories     Quick & Easy     Lime     Halibut     Avocado     Fall     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 avocado (preferably California)
fresh lemon juice for rubbing the avocado
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice plus 2 lime slices, halved, for garnish if desired
2 tablespoons water plus, if desired, additional to thin the sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
a pinch of cayenne, or to taste
2 tablespoons sour cream
two 1/2-pound halibut steaks, seasoned with salt and pepper
olive oil for brushing the fish
finely chopped seeded tomato for garnish

Steps:

  • Halve the avocado and reserve one half, rubbed with the lemon juice. In a blender puree the remaining avocado half, peeled, the lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the water, the scallion, the cumin, the cayenne, the sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste, scraping down the sides of the blender, until the sauce is smooth. Transfer the sauce to a small bowl and stir in enough additional water to thin the sauce to the desired consistency.
  • Grill the halibut, brushed generously on both sides with the oil, in an oiled ridged grill pan or on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it just flakes. Arrange the steaks on 2 plates, nap them with the sauce, and garnish each serving with the reserved avocado, peeled and sliced thin, fanning the slices, and the lime slices. Sprinkle the plates with the tomato.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh halibut: Look for firm, white fillets with a mild, briny aroma. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy smell.
  • Season the halibut well: Before cooking, season the halibut with a mixture of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the halibut gently: Halibut is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently over medium heat. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Make the guacamole sauce ahead of time: The guacamole sauce can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Serve the fish tacos immediately: Fish tacos are best served immediately after they are made. The tortillas will become soggy if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Halibut fish tacos with guacamole sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The fish is mild and flaky, and the guacamole sauce is creamy and flavorful. These tacos are perfect for a casual lunch or dinner, and they are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
