  • Yield: 8 Servings
40 10 50

Ingredients

  • 1 pound tomatillos, husks removed
  • 1 small sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
  • 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 serrano pepper, seeded
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Dash salt and pepper
  • TACOS:
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 pounds halibut steaks
  • 8 corn tortillas (6 inches)
  • 2-1/2 cups shredded cabbage

Directions

  • Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. For salsa, place the tomatillos, onion and garlic on a grilling grid; place on a grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat until tender and browned, turning frequently. Cool to room temperature.
  • Remove skin from garlic. Transfer grilled vegetables to a food processor. Add the cilantro, serrano pepper, lime juice, salt and pepper. Cover and pulse until chunky. Refrigerate until serving.
  • In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the lime juice, oil, salt, garlic powder, coriander, cumin and cayenne; add halibut. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
  • Drain and discard marinade. Grill halibut, covered, over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Flake fish into 1-1/2 in. pieces; cool to room temperature.
  • To serve, top tortillas with fish, cabbage and salsa. Yield: 8 servings.

    Editor's Note: If you do not have a grilling grid, use a disposable foil pan. Poke holes in the bottom of the pan with a meat fork to allow liquid to drain.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
