Ingredients
2 ounces cucumber, diced
2 ounces tomato, diced
1-ounce red bell pepper, diced
1-ounce orange bell pepper, diced
1/2-ounce jalapeno, diced
1-ounce. green onion, diced
1-ounce. white corn, cut from an ear of corn
1/4 bunch cilantro leaves
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 ounces lime juice
1-ounce fish sauce
6 ounces halibut fillet
Salt and pepper
Chili threads
Microgreens
Chili oil
Directions
- For the salsa: Combine all the vegetables in a bowl. Chop cilantro finely. Mix rice wine vinegar, sugar, salt, lime juice, and fish sauce together until well blended. Add all chopped vegetables and cilantro to the mixture. Mix well.
- For the halibut: Season with sea salt and pepper. Place the halibut directly onto a hot grill for a few minnutes. Then using tongs or a spatula give the halibut a quarter turn to create the second set of marks resulting in a crisscross pattern. When it's time to flip it, repeat the process of grilling for a few minutes and then give it a quarter turn. Remove from grill and finish in the oven.
- Assembly: Spoon a nice mound of salsa in the center of each plate, adding a bit of the salsa juice. Place the halibut fillet on top. Garnish with chili threads and microgreens. Add chili oil to edges of salsa for color and heat. Enjoy!
