Alaska halibut is mostly harvested from May through September, but
still available year round. A naturally lean fish, it can still
grow to an incredible size, usually weighing in between 35 and 50
pounds but sometimes tipping the scales at well over 300 pounds.
Only fished on long lines to ensure sustainable availability, Alaska
halibut reaches its full flavor potential in the pristine cool Alaskan
waters. From that point it's only a quick delivery away from
becoming a quality meal of halibut tacos.
In preparing any meal, superior ingredients make all the
difference. There's no better way to start your fish tacos than
with 2 pounds of Alaska halibut fillets, but you will also need a
tablespoon of olive oil, a half-teaspoon of chili powder, 8 tortillas
(corn or flour), a few lime wedges, and any condiments you might want
(peppers, guacamole, tomato, and beans). To make the seasoning
for the dish combine a tablespoon of paprika, a half-teaspoon of
cayenne pepper, a teaspoon (each) of onion powder, garlic powder, salt
and pepper, and a teaspoon and a half (each) of dried oregano and
dried thyme. Store this away from heat and light. You are
now set up for a perfect dish of halibut tacos.
After preheating your oven to 400_ Fahrenheit, cut the fish into one
inch cubes and toss them in a baking dish with the olive oil.
Spread the fish out and coat it with your seasoning mix and chili
powder to taste. Bake the fish until the flesh turns an opaque
white, approximately 10 minutes. Serve the fish in warm
tortillas along with your choice of condiments. Of course,
accompany your meal with the beverage of your choice.
As with any recipe, make any changes to fit your taste. You
could always add a bit of cumin powder to your seasoning, or pan-fry
your halibut in a skillet (olive oil is still recommended for health
and flavor). Some Mexican recipes recommend accompanying your
fish tacos with a slaw of diced cabbage, cilantro, mayonnaise, and
white wine vinegar. Finally and most importantly, enjoy your
delicious plate of halibut tacos!
