Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl or resealable zip-top bag, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, jalapeno, ancho chile powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the halibut pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20-25 minutes. Be careful not to over-marinate, as the lime juice will begin to 'cook' the fish and affect its texture. (25 minutes)

03

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.

04

Step

Remove the halibut from the marinade, discarding the marinade. Grill the fillets for approximately 5 minutes on one side, then carefully turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. (10 minutes)

05

Step

While the fish is grilling, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or over an open flame on a gas stovetop until pliable and slightly charred. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Divide the grilled halibut evenly among the warm tortillas. Top each taco with shredded cabbage, your favorite salsa, shredded pepper Jack cheese, and slices of ripe avocado. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately and savor the burst of flavors!

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the avocado slices briefly before adding them to the tacos.
If you don't have access to a grill, you can pan-sear the halibut in a hot skillet with a little olive oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. Consider adding a squeeze of lime, a dollop of sour cream, or some pickled onions for an extra kick.
For spicier tacos, leave the seeds in the jalapeno or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
Always ensure your halibut is fresh and of high quality for the best flavor and texture.
