Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1 orange
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Halibut:
Juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, finely diced
Salt and pepper
1 pound halibut fillet
Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa:
5 tomatillos
2 to 4 jalapenos, depending on spice preference
1 avocado
1/2 yellow onion
Juice of 4 limes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch cilantro
1 tablespoon agave nectar
Salt and pepper
Jalapeno-Lime Slaw:
1/2 to 3/4 head cabbage, shredded
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
3 jalapenos, seeded and diced
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 3 limes
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
For serving:
6 to 8 corn or flour tortillas
1 cup crumbled feta
Sliced radishes, optional
Lime wedges
Directions
- For the steak: Marinate the flank steak in the tiger sauce, lime juice, orange juice and garlic. Grill for 5 minutes per side. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into thin slices.
- For the halibut: Combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, jalapeno and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the halibut, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator. Grill for 3 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness -- the halibut will flake when done. Cut into small pieces.
- For the tomatillo-avocado salsa: In a blender, combine the tomatillos, jalapenos, avocado, onion, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, agave and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
- For the jalapeno-lime slaw: Add the cabbage, cilantro and jalapenos to a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder and some salt and pepper. Toss the cabbage with dressing to taste.
- To serve: Begin plating with a corn tortilla. Add a little less than 1/4 cup of slaw, top with a few pieces of halibut, a tablespoon or so of the salsa and a few slices of steak. Finish with crumbled feta, sliced radishes, if using, and a lime wedge.
