Ingredients

Halibut fillets

1 pound

Tortillas

8 small corn or flour tortillas

Avocado

1, sliced

Salsa

1 cup, store-bought or homemade

Lime juice

2 tablespoons, divided

Mayonnaise

1/4 cup

Cilantro

1/2 cup, chopped

Carrots

1 cup, shredded

Cabbage

2 cups, shredded

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Salt

1 teaspoon

Garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon

Chili powder

1 teaspoon

Cumin

1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lime juice, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
3. Brush the halibut fillets generously with the marinade on both sides, allowing them to absorb the flavors.
4. Grill the halibut fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flaky. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
5. Remove the halibut from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, chopped cilantro, mayonnaise, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Toss well to coat the slaw evenly.
7. Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a dry skillet until they are soft and pliable.
8. To assemble the tacos, place a generous spoonful of the slaw on each tortilla, top with the flaked halibut, sliced avocado, and a dollop of salsa.
9. Serve the halibut tacos warm, garnished with additional cilantro if desired, and enjoy the burst of flavors in each bite!
