Pan Fried Halibut With Thai Green Curry Recipes

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.

• 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!

THAI-STYLE HALIBUT WITH COCONUT-CURRY BROTH

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer until reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes.
• Season the halibut with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Arrange the fish in the pan and gently shake the pan so the fish is coated with the sauce. Cover and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes.
• Steam or microwave the baby spinach for 2 minutes.
• Arrange a pile of steamed spinach in the bottom of 4 soup plates. Top with the fish fillets. Stir the cilantro, scallions, and lime juice into the sauce and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Ladle the sauce over the fish and serve with rice.

HALIBUT WITH THAI GREEN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat and add the green curry paste. Sauté the curry paste 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the coconut milk and simmer a few minutes until it is thickened slightly. Stir in the brown sugar, lime juice and fish sauce.
• Place the halibut filets in the pan and spoon the sauce over the top. Alternatively, you can cut the halibut into bite-sized pieces before adding it to the pan. Arrange the bell pepper, snow peas, bamboo shoots, chili pepper (if using) and half of the basil around the fish. Bring the sauce to a light simmer and then cover the pan. Cook until the halibut is opaque and the vegetables are crisp tender, about 7-8 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining basil on top. Serve the halibut with steamed jasmine rice or brown rice. Garnish with lime wedges if desired.

HALIBUT GREEN CURRY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the cilantro, mint, coconut milk, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, ginger, pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, then transfer to a small bowl.
• Lay out a 24-inch piece of foil on a baking sheet. Toss the kale with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt. Arrange in a single layer in the middle of the foil. Nestle the fish filets on the kale and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Evenly spread the green curry sauce over each filet. Top loosely with another 24-inch piece of foil (try to keep the foil from touching the fish) and seal the edges.
• Bake the foil pack until the fish is just cooked through and the greens are crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Carefully unseal the foil pack, and divide the fish and greens among four plates. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

PAN FRIED HALIBUT WITH THAI GREEN CURRY

Steps:

• Pat fish dry and spread with a thin layer of the Thai Green Curry Paste. Mix together the chopped pistachios and the Panko breadcrumbs. Lightly beat the egg with 1 Tbsp water. Dip the coated fish in the egg mixture and then the pistachio/panko mixture, pressing to coat. Heat frying pan over medium heat and add butter and olive oil. When hot, but not smoking, add coated fish. Fry without disturbing until browned, about 3 minutes. Turn fish over and cook until fish is just cooked through and outside is browned. Baby Bok Choy and steamed rice are great sides with this.

EASY PAN-FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Combine butter, honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Portion halibut by cutting it into 3 or 4 pieces with a sharp knife. Set aside a little of the marinade and brush each side of the halibut with the remaining butter-honey mixture.
• Heat a skillet over high heat until it is sizzling hot - test by adding a drop of water to the skillet. If it sizzles and immediately evaporates when it hits the skillet, it is hot enough. Sear halibut for 90 seconds on each side. Reduce heat to medium and cook each side until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with reserved butter-honey marinade.

• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the shrimp; cook until opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon oil and remaining shrimp. Serve the shrimp with the sauce.
