Halibut With Fire Roasted Salsa Avocado Boats And Jicama Slaw Salad Recipes

JICAMA AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Segment the oranges and cut each segment in half. Squeeze the juice from the oranges' membranes into a bowl. Whisk in the lime juice, coriander, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and olive oil.
• Gently toss the jicama, red onion and oranges with the lime vinaigrette and transfer to a serving bowl. Top with the avocado, cilantro and a sprinkle of salt.

AVOCADO AND JICAMA SALAD

Steps:

• Peel jicama by cutting a thin slice off the top and bottom and paring sides with a small knife. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, then cut slices into thin strips. Set aside.
• Cut avocados in half lengthwise. Insert the blade of a heavy knife in pit, twist to remove, and discard. Peel avocado halves. Squeeze lemon juice over avocados to prevent browning; set aside.
• Whisk together vinegar, oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Make a bed of jicama on four plates, and top each with an avocado half. Season lightly with salt and pepper, sprinkle with onion, and pour dressing into avocado cavities. The salad will "dress" itself when you cut into avocados.

ROASTED HALIBUT FILLETS WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except the halibut. Spoon some of the salsa over the fish and serve.

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.
