Ingredients

1 Ruby Red grapefruit, segmented and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 avocado, diced
2 tablespoons diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 halibut fillets (4 ounces each), skin removed
8 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded Napa cabbage

Steps:

Make salsa: Combine grapefruit, avocado, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime juice in a medium bowl. Season with salt and set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Season halibut generously with salt and pepper and sear, undisturbed, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

Toast tortillas over a gas burner, turning, until lightly charred, about 1 minute. Top with fish, salsa, and cabbage.

Time 45m

Yield 8 tacos, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
12 ounces ahi or 12 ounces albacore tuna, cut into 1 inch steaks
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
8 taco shells
2 limes, halved
2 ripe avocados, pit and skin discarded
2 medium tomatoes, diced, into 1/4 inch cubes
1 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro, leaves, coarsely, chopped, stems discarded before before measuring
1/4 cup red onion, diced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine cumin, cayenne, salt, pepper and coriander.
Rub spice mixture generously on both sides of the tuna.
Preheat oven to 350°F for the taco shells.
Heat a nonstick pan on the stove over high heat. When pan is smoking hot, add olive oil, wait 10 seconds, then add tuna. Sear for 1 minute per side, or until fish is cooked on the outside, but rare on the inside. Transfer to a plate.
Separate taco shells and place them in the oven for 4 minutes (timing is everything here, since they go from perfectly done to burned after about 1 additional minute).
While the shells are heating, dice tuna into 1/4-inch cubes.
To serve, fill all eight taco shells halfway with salsa. Spoon tuna over salsa and squeeze a spritz of lime juice overtop. Serve immediately.
Avocado Salsa: Avocado is just ripe if it indents with the firm press of a finger.
Add all ingredients to a medium-size bowl. Toss gently. DO NOT MASH AVOCADO.
