Ingredients

  • 4 small halibut steaks, 3/4 inch thick (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 cup green salsa (salsa verde)
  • 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels or frozen corn
  • 1 small tomato, seeded and chopped ( 1/2 cup)
  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Spray half of one side of four 18x12-inch sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Brush fish lightly with oil. Sprinkle with salt and cumin. Place fish on sprayed side of foil sheets. Mix salsa, corn and tomato; spoon onto fish. Fold foil over fish so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for circulation and expansion.
  • 3
    Cover and grill packets 4 to 5 inches from medium heat 10 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Place packets on plates; unfold foil. Sprinkle with avocado.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you can purchase only large fish steaks, cut them in half before cooking.
  • tip 2
    You may want to check the different brands of green salsa. Some may be spicier than others. Choose the one to your liking.
  • tip 3
    Once avocados are cut and exposed to air, they begin to turn brown, as do apples or pears. So chop the avocado shortly before serving.
