GRILLED PACIFIC HALIBUT WITH MANGO SALSA



Grilled Pacific Halibut With Mango Salsa image

This sweet and spicy salsa goes beautifully with a firm, white fish like halibut. Make sure your mango is very ripe. Mangos are a good source of potassium, vitamin A and beta-carotene. You would think that such a sweet fruit would be high in calories, but because of all the water in a juicy mango, the caloric content is relatively low - about 135 calories in a whole mango, according to nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden.

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large, ripe mango
2 serrano chiles, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup finely diced jicama
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
4 6-ounce Pacific halibut fillets or steaks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 limes, cut in wedges, for serving

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.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH TOMATO-BASIL SALSA



Grilled Halibut With Tomato-Basil Salsa image

This is an easy fish recipe with light, bright flavors. You can use any mild flavored, firm, white fish; but halibut is my favorite with this. Watch the fish carefully as it cooks, if you overcook it, it will be rubbery. Make sure that the tomato you choose is fully ripe- this will not come out tasting right with under ripe tomatoes.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 medium tomatoes, cored seeded and diced
1/2 ounce basil leaves, sliced into ribbons (about 5 large leaves)
8 ounces halibut fillets
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Add the tomatoes and basil, stirring gently to combine. Set aside while you cook the fish.
  • Preheat your grill to medium high.
  • If your fish has skin on it, season the flesh side with salt and pepper. If it has no skin, place the fish on a folded piece of aluminum foil, large enough to hold the fish in one flat layer, coated with cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the fish on the grill, skin/foil side down. Cook until the fish flakes with a fork, or is barely opaque in the middle. It should still look a little wet in the center.
  • Remove the flesh from the skin (I just leave the skin on the grill and burn it off) or the foil, and place on a serving platter. Stir the salsa, then drizzle over the fish. Serve immediately.

Provided by á-170456

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon honey
4 halibut steaks - (6 oz ea)
1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Spray the broiler or grill rack with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Preheat the broiler, or prepare the grill. In a medium non-reactive bowl, combine the nectarines, onion, jalapeño, minced cilantro, lemon juice and honey; toss to combine. Sprinkle both sides of the halibut steaks with the black pepper. Broil or grill the halibut steaks 5 inches from the heat until the fish is opaque, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Serve, topped with the nectarine salsa; garnish with the cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality halibut. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Marinate the halibut before grilling. This will help to infuse the fish with flavor and prevent it from drying out. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, or you can try a more complex marinade, such as the one in this recipe.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the halibut. This will help to sear the fish and prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Cook the halibut for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the halibut immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for halibut include roasted vegetables, grilled fruit, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled halibut with nectarine salsa is a delicious and healthy summer meal. The halibut is grilled to perfection and the nectarine salsa adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or potluck.
