In a light sesame dressing with toasted sesame seeds, blanched broccoli is added to a vibrant green salad. Delicious and swift!

This was excellent! I used Seafood stock instead of chicken stock and put more than recommended. This created a fish stew that was amazing. I served it with a side of tortilla!
Tracy Chambers
These were fine, but nothing special. I liked how quickly they came together, but they were missing something.

I wanted a little dressing on it, so I added a little olive oil mayonnaise to it. it was a nice addition to the fish. For a little kick, I think wasabi mayonnaise would go good with it to.

Bland, boring, not worth the ingredients.
Katherine Avila
tasteless
Alexander Graham
Kind of blah. Not bad tasting just no zing.

Very good! We used tilapia instead of the halibut and a serrano in place of the anaheim and used green onions over the leek and left out the cumin and it still was good. I only seasoned my tilapia with garlic salt & lemon pepper. And when it was all cooked I drained the juices and boiled it then I added some sour cream to it and then when it was alittle thicker I poured it over the shredded fish. Then we warmed flour tortillas and fixed it like a burrito. We added other toppings like avacodo, cilantro & yellow pepper. Alot of variety available with this dish.

Pretty good, but agreed, a touch bland. Next time I’d do a spicier reduction with serranos, I think. Also, use fresh tomatoes/pico de gallo rather than hot tomatoes. Also, I finished it with avaocado and asiago cheese. I’d add a mesclun mix at the end too — to add some greens.

I cooked the liquid down until everything was at just a nice moist level but not runny, as it does start out with a lot of liquid. We added green chili peppers as I couldn’t find Anaheim peppers. Also, didn’t want to pay the price for Halibut, so used local Haddock type fish fillets. I also used whole wheat tortilla shells, we used spinach leaves instead of iceberg lettuce, they were sooooo good!!!

I followed reciepe exactly and we couldnt even eat it.
James Russell
I make this all the time for my family and now it’s the only way I’m allowed to make halibut tacos!!! Fantastic, Simple, FAST!!!!

I thought this was very good. I think I would drain the fish a little before serving there was a little to much liquid for a taco. I also used Talipia I could not find Halibut in the store.
David Rodriguez
A great different fish taco recipe. I followed it pretty much but used jalapeno, onion, and canned diced tomatoes. I followed others suggestions and made a sauce with the leftover sauce mixed with sour cream. Got rave reviews at this house!

I was really surprised and delighted with this recipe. I needed something quick, and had some tilapia on hand. I thought it would be boring, but it was delicious. All I had was flour tortillas, but they worked. Added sour cream, and chunks of avocado. Will make it again.
Nancy Moreno
I like this recipe bcuz the fish isn’t fried & it’s delish
Patricia Moore
This was an easy to follow recipe. It was even better because I happened to have all the ingredients on hand — didn’t have to run to the store for anything. Had to prime my husband that it wasn’t the typical fish taco that you’d get in California but we both really liked its taste nonetheless. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Annette Cross
not my style. tried the extra sour cream as another poster suggested, and it made it better buts still not good enough to make again. In the recipes defense, this is the first time I ever had a fish taco, thought I would try it out but it was a pretty big no in my house.

We liked it, kids included. Used a jalapeno and subbed a bunch of green onions for the leek and made with mahi mahi. Otherwise made as written- the worst part of the dish was the darn corn tortillas- they kept splitting- so the kids had to eat the innards with fork. Certainly not the submitters fault. IT WAS Tasty and flavorful. I let the veggie mixture reduce quite a bit before adding the fish- this way the mixture was perfectly thick and ready for the tortillas.
Jeffrey Villegas
I made this last night just like the recipe said but with tilapia instead and also used the idea to make sauce from the juices…delicious!!! We liked them so much I’m making them again tonight 🙂
David White
5 Stars= I’ll make it again! My husband gave this 5 stars and my son said he liked it better than regular tacos. Very good for something so healthy. I did use tilapia instead of halibut, removed the fillets after they were done then reduced the broth mixture, seasoned it to taste with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, tumeric and red pepper. After the reduction I added some sour cream as suggested….I thought the sauce really rounded the flavors out. Loved the touch of lime. Defiantly give this a try and don’t be afraid to add your fav seasonings to make it your own!

This was sooo good. I used swordfish and fish stock. My husband is from California and has had many types of fish tacos. He said this was one of the best he’s had. I will be making this again and again.
