Grilled Halibut With Jicama Salsa Recipes

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH SUMMER SALSA

Steps:

• For the salsa: Combine all the vegetables in a bowl. Chop cilantro finely. Mix rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt, lime juice, and fish sauce together until well blended. Add all chopped vegetables and cilantro to the mixture. Mix well.
• For the halibut: Season with sea salt and pepper. Place the halibut directly onto a hot grill for a few minnutes. Then using tongs or a spatula give the halibut a quarter turn to create the second set of marks resulting in a crisscross pattern. When it's time to flip it, repeat the process of grilling for a few minutes and then give it a quarter turn. Remove from grill and finish in the oven.
• Assembly: Spoon a nice mound of salsa in the center of each plate, adding a bit of the salsa juice. Place the halibut fillet on top. Garnish with chili threads and microgreens. Add chili oil to edges of salsa for color and heat. Enjoy!

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Toss the mango into a large bowl with the chiles, cilantro, mint, jicama and lime juice. Season with salt if desired. Cover the bowl, and allow to sit for an hour while you prepare your grill.
• 2. Heat a medium-hot grill (or heat an indoor griddle or grill pan). Season the halibut fillets or steaks with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the fish directly over the coals, and grill for four to five minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should be opaque all the way through, and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
• 3. Remove halibut to a plate or a platter. Serve with the salsa spooned partially over the fish and partially on the side. Alternately, spoon the salsa onto plates and set the fish on top.
• 4. Garnish each serving with 2 lime wedges, and serve immediately.

HALIBUT WITH FIRE-ROASTED SALSA, AVOCADO BOATS, AND JICAMA SLAW SALAD

Steps:

• Begin with the slaw salad. In a medium bowl, combine the lime zest and juice with the cilantro, hot sauce, and vegetable oil. With a paring knife peel the light brown skin from the jicama; slice 1/4-inch-thick disks, stack the disks up, then cut into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Add the jicama to the dressing and toss it around, then season with salt to taste and reserve.
• To make the salsa: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the veg oil and jalapeños and char until blackened on all sides. Remove the pan from the heat and remove the jalapeños to a cutting board. While the peppers cool enough to handle, in a bowl combine the fire-roasted tomatoes with the cilantro, mint, and red onion. Halve the peppers and remove the tops and seeds. Chop the jalapeño and add to the salsa. Toss to combine and season with salt to taste, then reserve.
• Return the nonstick skillet to the stove with the EVOO in it and heat the oil over medium-high heat. Dress the fish with lemon juice and salt and pepper on both sides. When the oil ripples and begins to smoke, add the fish and cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until firm and opaque.
• While the fish cooks, cut the avocados in half all the way down to the pit. Twist to separate the avocados. Use a spoon to remove the pits and scoop the flesh from the skin, keeping each half intact. Fill the cavity or "boat" with a little lemon juice, hot sauce, a pinch of salt, and a drizzle of EVOO.
• To serve, place the fish on a dinner plate and top with the salsa. Pile some jicama alongside. Add an avocado boat to the plate and serve.

GRILLED PACIFIC HALIBUT WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Finely dice the mango. Cut down the broad side of the mango, slightly off center, from the stem end to the tip end. The knife should scrape against the side of the pit. Repeat on the other side, cutting as close to the pit as possible. Cut the flesh from the sides of the pit, following the curve of the pit. Lay each half on your cutting surface, and score with the tip of your knife in a cross-hatch pattern, down to the skin but not through it. Turn the mango half inside out, and slice the cubes away from the skin. Then cut the cubes into very small dice.
• Toss the mango in a bowl with the chiles, cilantro, mint, jicama and lime juice. Season with salt if desired. Cover the bowl, and allow to sit for an hour while you prepare your grill.
• Heat a medium-hot grill (or heat an indoor griddle or grill pan). Season the halibut fillets or steaks with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the fish directly over the coals, and grill for four to five minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should be opaque all the way through, and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
• Remove the fish to a plate or a platter. Serve with the salsa spooned partially over the fish and partially on the side. Alternately, spoon the salsa onto plates and set the fish on top. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
