Halibut

"Fresh Halibut Everywhere"

I see the Halibut is rolling in, and thought I would share this recipe with you in case you needed some inspiration.

Fish Tacos Recipe:


• A bunch of cilantro
• Juice of 5 limes
• 1/3 cup of olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons for cooking
• 1 small white onion, roughly chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 1 jalapeƱo or 3 red fresno chili peppers, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• Coarse salt
• 2 pounds halibut, finely diced
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup white wine

Combine the cilantro, lime juice, 1/3 cup olive oil, onion, garlic, chili, garlic powder, cumin and paprika together in a blender with a large pinch of salt and puree until thoroughly combined and smooth. Set the mixture aside.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pot and add the halibut. Cook, stirring now and then, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the white wine and cook until nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes.

Pour over the reserved cilantro mixture, stir gently just to combine and cook for just another minute to let all the flavors say hello.

Serve immediately in tortillas with whatever you like, such as avocado, tomatoes, cilantro, lime and onion.


Enjoy
