Fried Halibut Tacos Recipe

Directions for Fried Halibut Tacos

1. 1

   Prepare the Halibut

   Season the halibut fillets with salt and black pepper. Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of cornmeal and a pinch of salt in a third.

2. 2

   Bread the Halibut

   Dredge each fillet in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture. Set aside on a plate.

3. 3

   Fry the Halibut

   In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded halibut fillets. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. 4

   Cook the Plantains

   Peel and slice the plantains diagonally. In the same skillet with a bit of leftover oil, fry the plantain slices until golden brown and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Assemble the Tacos

   Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Layer each tortilla with a few pieces of fried halibut, a scoop of cooked rice, black beans, fried plantains, slices of avocado, and a generous spoonful of pico de gallo salsa.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
