Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Halibut Fish Tacos.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large bowl or a resealable zip-top bag, and combine the zesty lime juice, smooth olive oil, fresh chopped cilantro, diced jalapeno, smoky ancho chile powder, earthy cumin, salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 2
Give it a good mix to blend all those vibrant flavors together.
Step 3
Next, gently add the halibut fillets to the marinade, making sure each piece is generously coated.
Step 4
Let them soak up those delicious flavors for about 20 to 25 minutes—just be careful not to marinate them too long, as the lime juice can start to 'cook' the fish.
Step 5
While the halibut is soaking, preheat your outdoor grill to a medium heat and lightly oil the grate to keep the fish from sticking.
Step 6
Once the halibut is ready, take it out of the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off.
Step 7
Place the fillets on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on one side.
Step 8
When it’s time to flip, do so carefully and grill for another 2 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork—this is when you know it’s perfectly done.
Step 9
While the halibut is grilling, warm up your corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until they’re nice and pliable.
Step 10
Now comes the fun part: assembling your tacos! Take those grilled halibut fillets and divide them among the warm tortillas.
Step 11
Top them off with your favorite toppings—crunchy cabbage, fresh salsa, creamy pepper Jack cheese, and slices of avocado.
Step 12
Each bite will be a delightful explosion of flavors! Enjoy your delicious halibut tacos, perfect for a sunny day or a cozy evening at home.
