• Remove fish from marinade and pour marinade into a small saucepan.

HALIBUT ROAST WITH TEQUILA LIQUEUR AND LIME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400f degrees.
• Place the halibut roast on a sheet of foil, large enough to wrap it and place it in a shallow oven proof dish or tray. Cut three slits into white skin side of halibut roast, deep enough to hold wedges of lime. Sprinkle sea salt and fresh ground pepper over the roast and into the slits. Place a lime wedge into each slit. Squeeze juice of one lime over all. Pour the Tequila liqueur over the roast and sprinkle the lime zest over all. Wrap the foil tightly around the roast and let rest in fridge for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Roast in 400f degree oven for approximately 30 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the roast, or until the fish flakes easily.
• Unwrap and place on a platter to remove skin and bones, place halibut pieces on another platter and pour liquid that accumulated in foil over, garnish with lime wedges.

HALIBUT CEVICHE WITH TOMATO AND PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Mix garlic, lime juice, tequila, and agave nectar in a large bowl. Add pineapple, tomato, onion, radishes, jalapeño, and halibut and toss to coat. Fold in avocado, cilantro, and mint; season with salt.
• Chill 10 minutes before serving.

HALIBUT STEAKS WITH CHILI AND LIME

Steps:

• If you have two large halibut steaks cut each in half, making four portions.
• Combine the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder and garlic in a shallow dish large enough to hold the halibut steaks in a single layer. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
• Place the halibut steaks in the dish, turn them once, cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Turn them again and marinate another 30 minutes.
• Preheat grill or broiler to very hot. Grill or broil the halibut steaks until lightly browned on one side, about six minutes, then turn and cook them on the other side. Baste them with the marinade a couple of times during cooking.
• When the fish is done, place the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Spoon the heated marinade over the fish and serve at once.
