Ingredients
Avocado Mango Salsa
- 1 mango, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
Halibut
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb fresh halibut
- 2 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss together the mango, avocado, red onion, cilantro and lime juice. Cover while preparing halibut.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, combine the light brown sugar, paprika, cumin, salt, garlic powder, thyme, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Rub the seasoning into the fish, making sure it's entirely coated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat in large skillet. Add fish to skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side or until blackened. Transfer to the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until cooked through.
Notes
- Use wild halibut when possible. It is healthier for you and just tastes better. Frozen halibut works fine too but just make sure it is thawed before cooking.
- If you like a really charred blackening, just cook an extra 2 minutes per side on the stovetop. You won't need to throw in the oven to finish.
- You know the fish is done when it flakes easily when pressed with a fork.
