Ingredients

  • 1avocado
  • ½ small bunchcilantro
  • ¾ lbhalibut fillet
  • 1lime
  • ½ medium headnapa cabbage
  • 8small corn tortillas
  • 1tomato
  • avocados
  • limes
  • tomatoes

From the pantry: black pepper, chili powder, extra virgin olive oil, salt

Cookware

chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · spatula

Directions

  1. Prepare the produce: wash and dry all fresh produce, then slice the Napa cabbage into thin shreds and transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Dice the tomato and add it to the cabbage.
  3. Halve and pit the avocados; scoop the flesh into a small bowl for later mashing.
  4. Rinse and roughly chop the cilantro, discarding the stems; divide half into the cabbage and reserve the rest for the guacamole.
  5. Squeeze the lime; divide the juice between the cabbage and the avocado to brighten both components.
  6. Pat the halibut dry, drizzle with olive oil, and season with chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  7. Warm a grill pan or skillet over medium heat, then cook the fish until opaque and golden, about 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  8. Mash the avocado with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth to make the guacamole.
  9. Toss the cabbage with the remaining cilantro and a pinch of salt and pepper. Warm the tortillas briefly in a covered plate or microwave, if desired, then assemble by layering cabbage, flaked fish, and spoonfuls of guacamole on each tortilla.

Two tips

  • Make-ahead: prep the slaw and guacamole up to a day ahead; store separately in the fridge.
  • Serving idea: add sliced avocado and a squeeze of lime at the table for extra brightness.
