Preparation

  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 1/4-inch pieces and set aside. Dice halibut into 1/4-inch cubes, place in a bowl nesting in a bowl of ice, and refrigerate.
  2. Strain infused juice, discarding sliced jalapeño. Season halibut lightly with a pinch of salt, or to taste. Add 1/4 cup juice to halibut, reserving remainder. Allow to sit (still resting in bowl of ice) for 5 minutes. Drain well.
  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.
