Recipes are overrated. Especially when it comes to Mexican food. Cilantro, avocado, assorted peppers, tomatoes, corn tortillas, onion, and a couple limes... Yeah, that sounds about right. I soaked some Outdoor Gourmet Alder Planks overnight and I have some nice, firm and translucent halibut, so tacos it is!
Ingredients
1 Outdoor Gourmet Alder Plank, soaked over night
1 1 inch thick Halibut Steak
Corn Tortillas
green apple salsa
1/2 small red onion, quartered
1 small jalapeño chile, seeded if you're a wimp
1/2 of colorful bell peppers, chopped
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
granny smith apple, chopped, skin on
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
guacamole
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 rip hass avocado, smooshed
2 tbs. lime juice
1 ripe tomato, seeded and diced
salt and pepper
** Greek yogurt or sour cream
Directions
First: Make sure your plank has soaked for a least 2 hours and preheat grill to Medium-High (400
°-ish). Then chop, slice, mince pretty much all of your ingredients- that's everything except the fish, tortillas, plank, salt and pepper!
Next: Place your soaked alder plank on the grill, then place fish on plank. Close lid and allow to smoke and smolder for 5-8 minutes. At this time, snack on some guacamole and chips.
Then: Crack that lid on the grill and top fish with your green apple salsa. Put a couple corn tortillas next to the smoldering plank (but not too close!) and close the grill lid for another 5 minutes.
Then: Carefully remove fish and tortillas from the grill, garish with a touch of cilantro and Greek yogurt. Ole!
