Grilled Halibut with Tomato-Avocado Salsa
Recipe Notes
The halibut can marinate up to 2 hours ahead of time in the lively marinade spiked with citrus, cumin and cayenne.
Tomatoes contain lots of vitamin C. Also called ascorbic acid, vitamin C functions as an antioxidant that may help protect cells from damage.
Ingredients:
Fish
1 1/2 lb halibut, tuna or swordfish steaks, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
Marinade
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
1 tablespoon canola or soybean oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Salsa
3 medium tomatoes, chopped (2 1/4 cups)
1/2 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 small jalapeño chile, seeded, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice
Directions:
- If fish steaks are large, cut into 6 serving pieces. In shallow glass or plastic dish, mix all marinade ingredients. Add fish; turn to coat with marinade. Cover; refrigerate at least 30 minutes but no longer than 2 hours.
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Remove fish from marinade; reserve marinade. Place fish on grill rack. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, brushing 2 or 3 times with marinade and turning once, until fish flakes easily with fork. Discard any remaining marinade.
- Meanwhile, in medium glass or plastic bowl, mix all salsa ingredients. Serve fish with salsa.
Yields 6 Servings.
