Halibut with Chipotle Compound Butter in Foil Packets<\/strong>
\nSource: Annie’s Eats<\/a>
\n<\/em>
\n4 skinless white fish fillets (such as halibut), 6-8 oz. each
\nSalt and pepper
\n4 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
\n2 tsp. minced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, divided
\n1 tsp. grated orange zest
\n2 tbsp. freshly squeezed orange juice
\n2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
\n1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
\n2 cups corn kernels
\n\u00bd red onion, diced
\n2 scallions, chopped
\n\u00bc cup minced fresh cilantro, divided<\/p>\n

Directions:\u00a0<\/em>
\nHeat a grill to medium-high heat. \u00a0(Alternatively, preheat the oven to 425? F.)<\/p>\n

Pat the fish dry with paper towels. \u00a0Season the fillets with salt and pepper. \u00a0In a small bowl, combine the butter, half of the chipotles, the orange zest, half of the garlic,\u00a0\u00bd teaspoon of salt, and\u00a0\u00bc teaspoon of pepper. \u00a0Stir with a fork until well blended. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the fillets.<\/p>\n

In a medium bowl combine the remaining chipotles, the orange juice, the remaining garlic, the beans, corn, onion, scallions, and half of the cilantro. \u00a0Add in\u00a0\u00bd teaspoon of salt and\u00a0\u00bc teaspoon of pepper. \u00a0Mix well to combine. \u00a0Lay four 14-inch squares of foil out on a work surface. \u00a0Divide the bean mixture evenly between the pieces of foil, placing it over the lower half of each piece. \u00a0Top each mound of the bean mixture with a fillet. \u00a0Fold the foil over the fish and fold up the edges to seal the packets.<\/p>\n

Place the packets on the grill, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the fish registers 160? F. \u00a0(You can poke the probe of a thermometer directly through the foil rather than opening the packets.) \u00a0Alternatively, bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes just until the fish is cooked through.<\/p>\n

Open the packets carefully to avoid contact with the steam and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro. \u00a0Serve warm.<\/p>\n
