Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces halibut fillets
- 2 cups strawberries
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the fillets with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Lightly brush the halibut with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the halibut fillets on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the strawberry salsa: hull and dice the strawberries into small cubes. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro. Mince the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds if you prefer less heat.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Add the lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the cooked halibut fillets to serving plates. Spoon the strawberry salsa generously over each fillet.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and vibrant Halibut with Strawberry Salsa!
