Recipe for
Cilantro Ginger Halibut
Use the cilantro-ginger sauce as
both a marinade and a serving sauce for the halibut.
INGREDIENTS
• 1 1/2 lb
Halibut
Fillets, cut into 4 serving pieces
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 small jalapeņo pepper
• 1 one-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
• 1 cup loosely packed cilantro leaves
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and Pepper to taste
Combine garlic, jalapeņo pepper, ginger, lime juice, and cilantro in the jar of a
blender. Cover blender, and remove the stopper. Turn on blender, and slowly drizzle
in the olive oil. Process until mixture is bright green and smooth. Season cilantro
sauce to taste with salt and black pepper.
Season both sides of fillets with salt and black pepper. Brush the top of each fillet
with 1 tablespoon cilantro sauce.
Fill a large high-sided skillet with 1 inch water. Set over high heat, and bring to
a boil. Set a steamer basket in the skillet, and arrange fillets in basket. Cover,
and steam until fish has just cooked through but is still moist, 5 to 6 minutes.
Remove fish from steamer, drizzle with additional cilantro sauce, and serve.
Makes 4 servings.
