Halibut and Sweet Corn Tamales image

These wonderful and simple oven 'tamales' go very well with another recipe I am posting for Mango, Jicama, and Corn Salad. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with halibut or Southwestern cooking!

  • Season with fresh ground black pepper.
  • Stir in fintely chopped red bell pepper.
