BLACKENED HALIBUT TACOS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, combine the first 8 ingredients. Add fillets, 2 at a time, and turn to coat., In a large cast-iron skillet, cook fillets in butter over medium heat until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3-4 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Begin by prepping the cabbage slaw. Thinly slice two cups of cabbage, and place in a bowl. (I like the mild flavor of napa cabbage, but you can use regular green or purple cabbage as well.) Drizzle with white wine vinegar, a teaspoon of date nectar (or honey), and salt and pepper to taste. Toss until well combined, and set aside.
• Prep any taco toppings you may be using: avocado, cilantro, shredded cheese, salsas, etc.
• Whisk together the seasonings for the blackening spice in a small bowl. Place the fish on a plate or cutting board, and generously sprinkle the mixture over all sides of the fish. Leave to rest.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat, and drizzle with enough avocado oil to lightly coat the pan, about a tablespoon. Once the oil begins to shimmer and spread over the pan’s surface, give the skillet a swirl to evenly coat with oil, then carefully add the seasoned fish. Press lightly with the back of a spatula to ensure all surfaces are making contact with heat. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your fillets. Fish should flake easily when cooked through.
• Remove the fish from the skillet to a cutting board when cooked through. Cut each fillet into three long strips, or simply flake into fairly large chunks.
• Turn down the heat to medium-low for the skillet and carefully wipe out any extra oil with a paper towel. Heat each corn tortilla for 30-45 seconds per side, then place between clean towels (or in a tortilla warmer) to keep warm. Alternatively, heat the corn tortillas over medium heat in a second small, dry cast iron skillet.
• To assemble your tacos, place the tortillas on a plate, top with cabbage, then add desired amount of fish, and add any toppings you’d like.
