Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 0.25 cup Tequila
- 0.25 cup Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the tequila, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the halibut fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all fillets are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the halibut from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the halibut fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Carefully remove the halibut from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 7
Garnish the grilled fish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
Step 8
Enjoy your Tequila Lime Halibut with a side of rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh green salad!
