Ingredients
For the Halibut
1 – 1½ lbs Pacific Halibut or Lingcod
1 – 2 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
1 tbsp Five Spice Powder
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Slaw
1 large apple julienned or grated
2 – 3 cups cabbage shredded
1 bunch cilantro coarsely chopped
½ cup green onions sliced
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
2 tbsps seasoned rice wine vinegar
2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
For the Crema
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp honey
juice of one large lime
1 – 2 tsps Sriracha
Garnishes
Corn tortillas
Green onion for garnish
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F.
- Pull the fish out the refrigerator at least 20 minutes prior to cooking. This will increase the temperature of the fish so it cooks more evenly in the oven.
- Place the fish in a baking dish and brush with olive oil. Then season the fish with salt and pepper.
- Rub the five spice powder on the fish and place it in the oven to roast for about 10 minutes. Typically, you should cook fish 8-10 minutes for each inch of thickness.
- Prepare the slaw while the fish is cooking. Place the apples, cabbage, cilantro and sliced green onions into a large bowl.
- Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, sugar, and olive oil. Toss the dressing with the cabbage and then spinkle with sesame seeds.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, honey and Sriracha
- When the fish is done, let it cool for about five minutes. Flake the fish for the tacos and assemble with slaw and crema. Load the garnish as desired!
