Halibut Tacos
Mexican is my absolute favorite type of food. Tacos, enchiladas, tamales, burritos – I love it all. And one of my favorite ways to use Halibut is in tacos.
I prefer to grill the fish, but if your grill is completely buried in snow, like mine is currently, then baking it in the oven is a fine substitute. If you can’t find Halibut, any firm white fish like Cod, Haddock, Sole, or Rockfish also works well. I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as our family does.
