Mexican flavor halibut

As you will discover I’m a HUGE fan of fish tacos and love to cook them at home. One night I was inviting friends for dinner with tacos and I did that fish to go in it. It was so good and so crispy, that I decided to try only the fish with a salad instead and it was a great success too! Also, I love this recipe because it is so easy and truly takes 5 minutes to do and 10/15 to cook!

Fish:

1 table spoon of Cumin
1 table spoon of paprika

½ table spoon of chilies
½ table spoon of garlic powder

½  table spoon of sugar
1 tea spoon of salt

1 tea spoon of coriander seeds.
4 filet of your favorite white fish (I do prefer halibut of pangasius)

Olive oil

Dip (optional):

½ a cup of sour cream
1 big table spoon a mayonnaise

2 small green onions
A bunch of fresh cilantro (usually put half of it, because I really like it)

 Jalapeños
Lime juice

Put all the spices in a pestle and grind until it makes a perfect powder (the coriander seeds will stay a little bit rougher than the rest). Then take a big zipploc bag, put your fish and the spice mix and shake. You can either do that the night before or couple hours so the fish really taste, but it is not necessary.  When you are ready, grill the fish either in a pan or in the oven with a little bit of olive oil. Bake: 10-15 minutes, grill 5-7 minutes.  The fish is delicious, just like this, as the sugar caramelize on top, but if you have time, do the dip to go with it, it’s very fresh! For the dip simply mix all the ingredient in a food processor and serve!  Psssst it goes perfect on a salad! J
