Prep Time: 10 min
Start to Finish: 30 min
Servings: 4

4 small halibut steaks, 3/4 inch thick (about 1 1/2 lb)
1 Tbsp olive or canola oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 cup green salsa (salsa verde)
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels or frozen whole kernel corn
1 small tomato, seeded and chopped ( 1/2 cup)
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped

1. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Cut four 18x12-inch pieces
of heavy-duty foil; spray half of one side of each piece with cooking
spray.

2. Brush halibut lightly with oil. Sprinkle with salt and cumin. On
sprayed side of each foil piece, place halibut. In small bowl, mix
salsa, corn and tomato; spoon onto halibut.

3. Fold foil over halibut and salsa mixture so edges meet. Seal edges,
making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for
circulation and expansion.

4. Cover and grill packets over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, rotating
packets 1/2 turn after 5 minutes, until halibut flakes easily with fork.
Place packets on plates. Cut large X across top of each packet; fold
back foil. Sprinkle with avocado.
