Fish
Season fish with cumin, coriander, paprika, red pepper & garlic powder, place on hot grill for 4 -5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness).

I make my own guacamole with the avocado by just adding garlic salt and chili powder to taste. You could lessen the sodium if you used your own spices too.Submitted by: SKEYDOO

Mexican Halibut Bake

This is a recipe I got from a friend and then toned it down some. She used a LOT more butter and definitely no fat-free or light items.

Here in Alaska, we find our chest freezer bursting with halibut and salmon. This is my favorite way to eat my halibut. The sauce is great as a dip as well. Especially yummy with bell peppers.Submitted by: KODIAKMAMA

The sauce was very acidic as I used 1 1/2 squeezed limes. My husband couldn't eat it. The sauce needs work or taste it first or you may get a sour surprise. Definitely needs avocado as a topping. - 1/13/12

I changed a few things with this. I did make it with Mahi-Mahi, but without the seasonings due to making a mango/avocado salsa. I love the cream sauce. I did omit the onions due to my personal preference. It is a great meal! - 12/5/11

These blew our minds. We have been wanting to try fish tacos for a while but always talked ourselves out of them. Not anymore! We are looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. My husband raved about them. Thanks for the recipe. - 9/17/11

These are great! Only difference was I used tilapia and baked the fish at 425 for 15 minutes (I like a dry fish). I also cut up some celery for extra crunch and threw that on top of the fish.. - 2/20/11

NATESGIRL4EVER
Wow! We loved it! I didn't follow the seasoning part for the fish--just sprinkled a little cajun seasoning on it. The sauce was amazing. We added avacado, tomato and salsa. Definetely making again! - 2/16/10

These were good and it was nice to try something different. I thought the seasoning was on the verge of too spicy for me. Next time I may ration it out a little better. Thanks. - 3/2/09
