Ingredients

• 4 pieces (approximately 6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Orange juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 pieces Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the halibut fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 4

Remove the halibut fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Discard any leftover marinade.

Step 5

Scatter the cherry tomatoes and red onion slices around the fillets on the baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish the halibut with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Step 8

Enjoy your bright and zesty Halibut San Juan!
