Instructions
- Preheat a medium-hot grill, broiler oven, or pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
- Drizzle Alaska Halibut with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and cook until nearly opaque throughout, about 2 to 5 minutes per side,
- depending on the thickness. Remove the fish from the grill or pan, let cool slightly, and then pull apart into large flakes.
- To assemble tacos: Place the tortillas on a work surface. Line each with a piece of lettuce and top with chunks of fish. Top each with a
- generous spoonful of Cucumber Citrus Salsa and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with avocado, radish, and lime wedges.
- * To warm, dip corn tortillas in water, shaking off excess. Toast, in batches, in a nonstick pan over moderate heat, about 1 minute per
- side. Wrap in towel to keep warm.
- Cucumber Citrus Salsa
- Makes about 3 cups
- 1/2 orange
- 1/2 grapefruit
- 1 lime
- 4 pickling or Persian cucumbers or 1 English cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 serrano chiles, stemmed and sliced in thin rounds
- 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Slice ends off orange, grapefruit, and lime and stand upright on a counter. Cut away peel and membrane, exposing fruit. Working over a bowl
- to catch the juices, separate the citrus sections by slicing with a knife between membranes. Remove and discard seeds. Cut the citrus
- segments into small dice and add to the bowl with all the juices. Stir in remaining ingredients thoroughly, cover, and let sit in
- refrigerator at least 30 minutes for flavors to combine.
