Halibut With Charred Corn Salad
HALIBUT WITH CHARRED CORN SALAD
Seasoned halibut seared to flaky perfection and served with a delicious charred corn salad made with corn, cherry tomatoes, jalapeno and green onions mixed with lime juice.
Spring is coming, I can feel it. I’m so excited about working in the garden with my fresh herbs and vegetables. The fresh veggies in this salad mixed with the charred corn make a light and healthy fish meal that is so yummy. I always end up eating the rest of the corn salad with a spoon straight out of the serving bowl. civilized ain’t I 🙂
