On a long, hot summer day, the last thing you want to do is be cooped up in a stuffy kitchen. The summer is the perfect time to head outdoors and fire up the grill. Standard barbecue foods like steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs can get boring after one too many summer cookouts, so fish is the perfect option to mix things up. This recipe for summer halibut is healthy and delicious, which makes it the perfect meal for a sweltering day.
Ingredients
Salsa: 1/2 cup English cucumber, diced
1/2 cup Roma tomato, diced and seeded
1/4 red bell pepper, diced
1/4 yellow bell pepper, diced
1-2 jalapenos, diced (depending on your taste)
1 bunch green onions (white and half of green tops), diced
two ears of white or yellow corn, cut from an ear of corn
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
salt to taste
juice from one lime
1 tablespoon sugar
2 6-ounce halibut fillets
To prepare the salsa: Combine all the vegetables in a bowl. Chop cilantro finely. Mix rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt, and lime juice together until well blended. Add all chopped vegetables and cilantro to the mixture. Mix well.
To prepare the halibut: Season with sea salt and pepper. Place the fish directly onto a hot grill for a few minutes. Then using tongs or a spatula give it a quarter turn to create the second set of marks resulting in a crisscross pattern. When it's time to flip it, repeat the process of grilling for a few minutes and then give it a quarter turn. Remove from grill and finish in the oven.
Putting it together: Spoon a pile of salsa in the center of each plate, adding a bit of the salsa juice. Place the halibut fillet on top.
