Directions
- To make the chipotle lime dressing, place all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings, as needed.
- Place the fish in a baking dish or food storage container. Pour 1/4 cup of the yogurt dressing over the fish and toss to coat. Place the container in the refrigerator and marinate for one hour.
- To make the slaw, combine the cabbage and grated broccoli stalk with the 1/4 cup chipotle lime dressing, cilantro, lime juice and honey. Toss to coat. Taste and season with Jacobsen Salt Co. Kosher Sea Salt, to taste. Transfer to the refrigerator until serving.
- Preheat your Napoleon Prestige 500 Gas Grill to 400ºF, set up with a Napoleon Cast Iron Griddle positioned over the fire box.
- Remove the fish from the dressing/marinade. Wipe off excess marinade. Lightly season the filets with Cattleman’s Grill Mexicano Seasoning.
- Put a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil on the griddle. Place the fillets on the oil. Cook until seared, then flip. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 140ºF.
- Remove the halibut from the griddle and cover to keep warm. Warm the tortillas on the grill.
- To build the Chipotle Lime Fish Tacos, flake the halibut and divide amongst the tortillas. Add to each tortilla a slice of avocado, a drizzle of Greenade Green Chile Sauce and a portion of the slaw. Top with the chipotle lime dressing.
