Directions

Grill, covered, over medium heat until tender and browned, turning frequently. Cool to room temperature.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. To serve, top tortillas with fish, cabbage and salsa.
