Baked Halibut

I usually just eyeball the measurements based on what I feel like at the time. These are just approximations.

1 16oz halibut fillet
2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp dill weed
salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup tequila
1 freshly squeezed lemon
2 freshly squeezed limes
2 cloves minced garlic
Green onion

Wash and pat dry the fish. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients (paprika, mustard seed, dill weed, salt and pepper) together, in a bowl. If you have a sifter, use it. Mix the tequila, lemon juice, and lime juice in a separate bowl. Use liberal amounts of the rub to coat the halibut. Rub the seasoning into the top and sides of the fish. Place the fish in a baking pan. Spoon about a third of the wet mixture over the fish. Mince a couple cloves of garlic and garnish the fish. You can chop some green onion and do the same here, or put them on after you bake the fish. Place the fish in the oven. Baste the fish with the remaining wet mixture every 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the fish should be flaky, moist and done.
