The recipe is good, but I like my salsa with bolder flavors. I thought this salsa lacked a little zing.

I'm not sure if they've done it on purpose or not but this recipe is a bit different than the recipe they showed on air. Chef Irvine rolled his halibut in BBQ sauce before he put it on the grill, and smeared sour cream on the tortilla first before putting the fish on it. Both of those steps are left out here. Also, I'm not positive but it appeared to me as if he was using regular corn, and not these hard roasted corn kernels. I followed the directions with the exception of those three changes and it turned out absolutely delicious! All of the flavors blended very well. However, the thing that got me most interested while watching the show is absent from the recipe (BBQ sauce on the halibut, and because several other ingredients are missing or changed, this recipe is only a 3. Add the sour cream and BBQ sauce, let those roasted kernels soften enough or use non roasted corn, and its easily 4 stars, 4.5 if possible.

Chef Robert Irvine made this for me at the "Off Street Cafe" here in Cerritos, CA. Amazing taste, and totally fresh with the right amount of "zip" and "heat." Scale of 1 to 10 on this dish, I give it a 9.5.
