2 clove(s) Garlic (quartered, for cilantro sauce)
1 bunch Cilantro (coriander) (for cilantro sauce)
1/2 bunch Green onion (coarsely chopped, for cilantro sauce)
1 1/2 tsp Cumin
1 pinch Sea Salt (for cilantro sauce)
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (for cilantro sauce)
1 tbsp Water, filtered (for cilantro sauce)
4 cup shredded Green cabbage (TIME SAVER: buy bagged and shredded)
1/2 bunch Green onion (finely chopped, for cabbage slaw)
1 whole lime(s) Lime juice (fresh) (for cabbage slaw)
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (for cabbage slaw)
2/3 cup Greek yogurt, plain, 1% M.F. (for yogurt sauce)

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil (for cooking fish)
12 medium tortilla(s) Tortilla, corn (warmed)

Instructions


  1. Prepare cilantro sauce: In a food processor, or high-powered blender add lime zest, squeeze in the lime juice, garlic, cilantro, coarsely chopped scallions, cumin, and a pinch of salt, and pulse until roughly chopped. Add olive oil and water and continue to pulse until the mixture becomes a chunky sauce. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the sauce.
  2. Toss the halibut in a bowl with sauce and let marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare cabbage slaw: In a large bowl, toss the reserved cilantro sauce with the cabbage, finely chopped scallions, lime juice, and olive oil.
  4. In a small bowl prepare yogurt sauce, stir together the Greek yogurt, and the juice of the remaining lime.
  5. Heat an oiled large nonstick skillet (preferably ceramic) over medium-high heat.
  6. Add about half of the fish, so the pieces are in a single layer and cook, turning until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes. Transfer the fish to a plate and cook the remaining fish.
  7. In warmed tortillas, place yogurt sauce, cabbage, fish, and top with salsa. ENJOY!
