How to Make Mexicana Halibut

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 cup beer, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
  2. Add halibut fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  4. Remove halibut fillets from marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the marinade.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and drain off any excess liquid. Top each fillet with 1/4 cup of your favorite salsa.
  7. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly (about 2-3 minutes).
  9. Serve immediately with Spanish rice.
