Ingredients

  • 4 Alaska halibut fillets (4 to 6 oz. each)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 Tbsp. ground cumin, divided
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 cup regular or low-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. cracked black pepper
  • 4 sandwich rolls, split
  • 1/2 cup roasted poblano chiles, peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 8 tomato slices
  • 1 cup cilantro leaves

Directions

  1. Marinade:

  2. Season Alaska Halibut fillets with kosher salt, black pepper and 2 tsp. cumin; place in 9 × 13-inch pan. Whisk together oil, lime juice and garlic; pour mixture over halibut; turn halibut to coal all sides. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before using.

  3. Cumin Tartar Sauce:

  4. In a small mixing bowl, blend mayonnaise. relish, mustard, one tsp. cumin and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

  5. Heat a ridged grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove halibut fillets from marinade; place in heated pan and cool, uncovered, about 3 to4 minutes, until browned. Shake pan occasionally to keep fish from sticking. Turn fillets over and cook just until fish is opaque throughout, about 4 minutes. Griddle (or toast it oven) cut side of rolls until golden. Spread cut side of each roll bottom with two tablespoons of tartar sauce. Layer with 2 Tbsp. roasted chiles, a halibut portion, 2 tomato slices, and 1/4 cup cilantro leaves; cover with roll tops.
