Another clipping from my Great Aunt's recipe collection. I am not sure if she tried this one or not, but it certainly sounds good to me. This one came from a cookbooklet put out by the small local newspaper, The Naperville Sun.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Glaze
6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
6 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles*
1 garlic clove, coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Sauce
1 large avocado, halved, pitted, peeled
2 medium tomatillos (about 4 ounces), husked, rinsed, coarsely chopped**
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 teaspoon (or more) hot pepper sauce
Fish
6 5-ounce halibut fillets (each about 1 inch thick)
1 orange with skin, cut lengthwise in half, thinly sliced crosswise
Ground cumin

Steps:

  • For glaze:
  • Mix all ingredients in blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Do ahead: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Stir before using.
  • For Sauce:
  • Combine all ingredients in blender; blend until smooth. Do ahead: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature.
  • For fish:
  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Make crosswise slits in each fillet, cutting to within 1/4 inch of bottom and spacing slits about 3/4 inch apart. Brush glaze over top and into slits. Place orange slices in slits. Sprinkle fish with ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Place fish, orange side up, on grill; cover and cook until fish is opaque, about 8 minutes. Using wide spatula, carefully transfer fish to platter. Let rest several minutes. Spoon avocado sauce onto plates, spreading slightly. Arrange 1 fillet over sauce on each plate and serve.
  • *Chipotle chiles are dried, smoked jalapeños canned in adobo sauce. They are available at some supermarkets, at specialty foods stores, and at Latin markets.
  • **Green and tomato-like with a papery husk, tomatillos are sold in the produce section of some supermarkets and at Latin markets.

Tips:

  • Choose sustainable halibut: Opt for halibut that is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or another reputable organization to ensure it is responsibly sourced.
  • Marinate the halibut: Marinating the halibut in a mixture of citrus juice, herbs, and spices not only infuses flavor into the fish but also tenderizes it.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits: Feel free to mix and match different types of citrus fruits in the marinade, such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit, for a complex flavor profile.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the halibut, make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this can cause the fish to steam rather than sear.
  • Cook the halibut until it is just opaque: Halibut cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. The fish is done when it is just opaque in the center.
  • Make the orange glaze while the halibut is cooking: This allows the flavors in the glaze to meld together and thicken slightly.
  • Brush the halibut with the orange glaze: Basting the halibut with the orange glaze during the last few minutes of cooking helps to caramelize the glaze and add a beautiful sheen to the fish.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the halibut with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or chives, for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Orange glazed halibut is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The citrusy marinade and glaze infuse the fish with a bright and tangy flavor, while the flaky texture of the halibut pairs perfectly with the crispy skin. With its vibrant color and amazing taste, orange glazed halibut is sure to impress your guests and become a favorite in your seafood repertoire.
