Preparation
Step 1
For halibut: Preheat medium-hot grill, broiler oven or pan on stovetop over medium-high heat. Drizzle fish with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and cook until barely done, 2-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove fish from grill or pan, let cool slightly, then pull apart into large flakes.
Place tortillas on work surface. Line each with a piece of lettuce and top with chunks of fish. Top each with a generous spoonful of Cucumber Citrus Salsa and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with avocado, radish and lime wedges.
*To warm tortillas, dip them in water, shaking off excess. Toast, in batches, in a nonstick pan over moderate heat, about 1 minute per side. Wrap in towel to keep warm.
For cucumber citrus salsa: Slice ends off orange, grapefruit and lime and stand them upright on counter. Cut away peel and memberne, exposing fruit. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, separate citrus sections by slicing with a knife between membranes. Remove and discard seeds. Cut citrus segments into small dice; add to bowl with the juices. Stir in remaining ingredients thoroughly; cover and let sit in refrigerator at least 30 minutes for flavors to combine.
