Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Thinly slice one-third of jalapeño and place in a small bowl with orange juice and lime juice. Allow to infuse for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, dice remainder of jalapeño into ¼-inch pieces and set aside. Dice halibut into ¼-inch cubes, place in a bowl nesting in a bowl of ice, and refrigerate.

  2. Step 2

    Strain infused juice, discarding sliced jalapeño. Season halibut lightly with a pinch of salt, or to taste. Add ¼ cup juice to halibut, reserving remainder. Allow to sit (still resting in bowl of ice) for 5 minutes. Drain well.

  3. Step 3

    Divide halibut among four chilled serving plates. Top each serving with an equal portion of reserved juice, diced jalapeño, parsley and a few drops of olive oil. Season to taste with salt, and sprinkle each plate with grated lime zest. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure I would do this as halibut, being a bottom feeder, has a high incidence of parasites. At the very least buy sushi grade fish that has been flash frozen, which is now required in NYC for fish served uncooked.

We loved this, although I had a plethora of avocado so added one. Also, I poached the halibut for about 8 minutes so as not to eat raw halibut, not sushi grade.
