Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling.
Sprinkle the halibut with the ancho powder, salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and charred on both sides, and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

Using two forks, flake the halibut into large bite-size pieces and put in a large bowl.
Pour over the olive oil and lime juice, and toss just to combine.
Add the cabbage and cilantro and toss again.
Serve the fish with the tortillas and Vera Cruz Salsa and let guests fill and wrap their own tacos.
Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Toss the tomatoes and jalapenos with a few tablespoons of canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill both until charred on all sides and just soft.

Halve the tomatoes, remove the seeds and cut into small dice. Dice the jalapenos, including the skin and seeds.
Put the tomatoes and jalapenos in a medium bowl.
Add the onions, olives, capers, olive oil, vinegar, cilantro, oregano, and lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner
Fish on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try Juve Y Camps Pinot Noir Brut rosé. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 19 dollars per bottle.
Juve Y Camps Pinot Noir Brut Rose
This cava seduces with its bright cherry red color and beautiful effervescence. It reflects the character of the variety, with its cherry and strawberry notes enveloped in honey, toasted bread and a faint floweriness. It is intense, fresh and exuberant in the mouth, with a rich, aromatic finish. Pairs well with pasta, cured meats, Japanese food and baked goods.
