Notes
- Make-Ahead: You can keep the fish warm and covered in a pan for up to 15 minutes before serving, but this recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is cooked.
- How to Store: Cover and keep the fish separate from the tortillas and toppings in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will freeze covered for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
- How to Reheat: Place the desired number of seared fish fillets in a pan or sheet tray lined with parchment paper and heat in the oven at 350° for 5-6 minutes or until hot.
- You can use frozen halibut; just be sure it’s completely thawed before using.
- Pat the halibut down with paper towels as it will help release it from the pan when ready to flip over.
- This recipe is very versatile, so just about any fish will work to use in these tacos.
