4 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Halibut

In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, garlic, green onion, cilantro, and red pepper flakes. Add the chunked halibut to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than an hour to prevent the fish from becoming mushy.

Step 2: Make the Chimichurri

While the fish is marinating, prepare the chimichurri. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, parsley, cilantro, red onion, red pepper flakes, and red wine vinegar. Stir until well combined and set aside.

Step 3: Grill the Halibut

Preheat your grill to 400°F. Lightly spray a grill basket with non-stick spray and place the marinated halibut inside. Grill for 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 4: Assemble the Tacos

Warm the taco shells on the grill or in a skillet. Fill each shell with grilled halibut, a drizzle of chimichurri, a sprinkle of crumbled Cotija cheese, and fresh mango chunks.
