Why, you ask? Because halibut has a steak-like quality and a mildly sweet flavor that sets it apart. And when you make this halibut fish taco recipe, it&#8217;ll be matched with a delicious mango-avocado dressing that perfectly complements the fish. Add some Bibb lettuce and chili sauce to the mix, and you&#8217;ve got yourself an incredibly flavorful meal (that&#8217;s also easy and quick to prepare). Serve these tacos with a side of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/black-beans-and-rice\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/black-beans-and-rice\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">black beans and rice<\/a>, or serve them on their own.
