Best Citrus Grilled Halibut With Cucumber Pineapple Salsa In A Whole Wheat Pita Pocket Recipes

PINEAPPLE-CUCUMBER SALSA

Steps:

• Combine the pineapple, cucumber, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro and lime juice in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the salsa with tortilla chips.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the orange and tangerine. Working over a large bowl, carefully cut between the membranes to release the citrus segments, allowing them to fall into the bowl along with any juices. Add the avocado, onions, cilantro and lime zest and juice to the bowl with the citrus. Gently toss to mix. Season the salsa with salt and pepper.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the halibut liberally with salt and pepper. Add the halibut to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the halibut to serving plates, top with salsa and serve.

GRILLED PACIFIC HALIBUT WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Finely dice the mango. Cut down the broad side of the mango, slightly off center, from the stem end to the tip end. The knife should scrape against the side of the pit. Repeat on the other side, cutting as close to the pit as possible. Cut the flesh from the sides of the pit, following the curve of the pit. Lay each half on your cutting surface, and score with the tip of your knife in a cross-hatch pattern, down to the skin but not through it. Turn the mango half inside out, and slice the cubes away from the skin. Then cut the cubes into very small dice.
• Toss the mango in a bowl with the chiles, cilantro, mint, jicama and lime juice. Season with salt if desired. Cover the bowl, and allow to sit for an hour while you prepare your grill.
• Heat a medium-hot grill (or heat an indoor griddle or grill pan). Season the halibut fillets or steaks with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the fish directly over the coals, and grill for four to five minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should be opaque all the way through, and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
• Remove the fish to a plate or a platter. Serve with the salsa spooned partially over the fish and partially on the side. Alternately, spoon the salsa onto plates and set the fish on top. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH PINEAPPLE LIME SALSA

Steps:

• To make the salsa: mix together all the salsa ingredients; may chill or keep at room temperature.
• To make the halibut: mix together the vegetable oil and minced garlic; brush mixture over the fish steaks.
• Sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt (or season to taste with salt).
• Coat a grill rack with non-stick cooking spray.
• Put the fish on the grill rack; grill, covered, over medium-hot coals for 5-6 minutes or until the fish flakes; turn fish once during grilling time.
• Place fish steaks on individual plates; spoon pineapple-lime salsa over the fish.
• Serve with lime wedges.

CITRUS GRILLED HALIBUT (COOKING FOR 2)

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium-high. Spray a large piece of aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray, and turn it up along the edges.
• Cut the lemons and limes in half and squeeze all of the juice into a large measuring cup, being careful to remove any seeds. Peel and chop the garlic. Then, whisk the juices, garlic, and pepper together. Pour about one-quarter of the mixture into the aluminum foil; place the fish on top; and then pour the rest of the liquid over the fish. Loosely wrap it up, folding over the foil to keep the moisture in while grilling but with enough openings for the juice to mostly evaporate.
• Grill for about 5 minutes on one side and then open the foil to flip the fish once mid-way through, for a total of 10 to 15 minutes until cooked through (time will vary depending on grill temperature and thickness of the fish).
