How To Make grilled halibut with orange saffron sauce and medi
-
1Orange Saffron Sauce: In small saucepan, bring orange juice, wine, chilies, sugar, saffron and salt to boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1/2 cup (125 mL), about 45 minutes.
-
2Strain through fine sieve into small bowl, pressing on solids. Stir in rind; set aside. (Make-ahead: Let cool. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 days.)
-
3Salsa: In bowl, combine onion, garlic and lime juice; cover and set aside for 30 minutes. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 2 hours.) Just before serving, stir in tomatoes, oil, parsley, salt and pepper. Peel, pit and dice avocado; fold into salsa.
-
4Halibut: Cut each fish fillet in half lengthwise. Lay slices on their side. Curving each, fit into each other to form tight round.
-
5Halve ham lengthwise; wrap securely around rounded edges of fish to completely encase. Secure with 2 small (6-inch/15 cm) soaked wooden skewers. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.)
-
6Combine paprika, salt and pepper; sprinkle over fish. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close cover and grill, turning once, until fish flakes easily when tested, about 10 minutes.
-
7Place fish on each plate; top with salsa. Surround with sauce.
