For the cucumber salsa

    • 1 seedless cucumber, diced
    • 1 red pepper, diced
    • 1 small red onion, diced
    • 1 yellow pepper, diced
    • 1 tbsp lime juice
    • 1 tsp salt
    • ¼ cup sour cream
    • ¼ cup tomatillo salsa, medium
    • ¼ cup crumbled Mexican cheese (cotija)
    • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

    • 1 tsp cumin
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    • 1 tsp kosher salt
    • ½ tsp garlic powder
    • ½ tsp onion powder

Directions

    For the fish

    1. Thaw fish in fridge before using. Take fish from package and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.

    2. Prepare Halibut seasoning by mixing all seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl.

    3. Cover each side of the Halibut generously with seasoning. Sear both sides of Halibut in a hot pan with oil about 3-5 minutes on each side until done. You can tell fish is done if it flakes easily and is white throughout.
