Curried Halibut Skillet Recipes

PAN SEARED HALIBUT IN THAI CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Season Halibut with lime zest, salt, pepper and paprika. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
• In your food processor, process your garlic, ginger, onion and lime juice until smooth or finely minced. This could pose a challenge for large processors, since its a small amount of ingredients. If so, do it by hand then add in the lime juice.
• Melt butter in a non-stick skillet or frying pan. Over med-high heat, pan sear the halibut, about 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through. (Cook time will vary based on the thickness of your fish).
• Carefully place fish on a baking sheet or plate tented with foil.
• In the same pan, add your mixture from the food processor and saute for 4 minutes. If you need to add a smidge more butter, do so.
• Add in your Thai red curry paste and tomato paste, blend well and saute for 3 minutes.
• Add in the wine and stir briskly, once its simmering add in the coconut milk, sugar and some salt & pepper.
• Stir, taste and adjust seasoning or heat if necessary. If you would like it spicier, add in a pinch or two of Cayenne pepper.
• Simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Place the fish gently into the pan of sauce, allow it to sit for a minute or two and serve.
• OR plate the fish and spoon the sauce around it.
• Enjoy!
