Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Halibut fillets
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 0.25 cup Lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 piece Jalapeño (seeded and finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 piece Red bell pepper (sliced thinly)
• 0.5 piece Red onion (sliced thinly)
• 1 piece Avocado (sliced)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the halibut fillets into a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is evenly coated. Reserve the remaining marinade for later. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

Step 3

While the fish marinates, prep your vegetables: halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red bell pepper and red onion thinly, and prepare the avocado slices and lime wedges for garnish.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the halibut fillets from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Grill the fish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Transfer the cooked fish to a serving platter.

Step 6

In a separate pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened and charred.

Step 7

Drizzle the reserved marinade over the grilled halibut fillets and top with the sautéed vegetables.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh avocado slices and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your Miami Halibut!
