Grilled Halibut with Tomatillo Sauce

Grilled Halibut with Tomatillo Sauce

Ingredients

1 bottle (16 oz.) Frontera Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
2 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil
4 ea. 6 oz. Alaska Halibut fillets
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2/3 cup fish or mild chicken broth
salt, as needed
fresh cilantro, chopped or sprigs, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Marinating The Halibut. Mix together 1/4 cup of the salsa with 1 tbsp. of the oil in a baking dish. Add the halibut and turn to coat the fish. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, if time permits.
  2. The Flavorings. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp. of oil in a skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining salsa to the skillet. Stir for several minutes, then stir in the broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt.
  3. Finishing The Halibut. Sprinkle halibut lightly with salt. Grill, turning once until nicely seared and cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes total.
  4. Serving. Place one fillet on each of 4 warm dinner plates, spoon the sauce over or around the halibut and garnish with cilantro.
