NORTH AFRICAN SPICED ALASKA HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix all dry ingredients in a small bowl. Stir in harissa, garlic and olive oil.
• Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Place halibut portions in spray-coated baking dish. Spoon and spread spice mixture over top of halibut. Cover dish with foil; seal. Roast 18 to 25 minutes for frozen halibut or 10 to 15 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.

ALASKA HALIBUT TEMPURA

Steps:

• Combine flour, parmesan cheese, salt and garlic powder. Mix together oil, eggs, and beer. Add moist mixture to dry ingredients. Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to 350*. When oil is hot, dip halibut chunks in batter and deep fry until golden brown. Vegetables are battered and fried in same way. Ingredients should be dry, or dipped in flour for the batter to adhere firmly. Drain on paper and serve at once.

FISH AND SEAFOOD TEMPURA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Season the seafood with salt and set it aside.
• Lay out a paper towel under a rack to place the fried seafood on.
• Heat the oil to 370 F over medium to medium-high heat in a deep fryer or a deep, heavy pot. If possible, attach the thermometer to the side.
• Mix the baking soda, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, cornstarch, and rice flour or all-purpose flour in a bowl until they are fully incorporated.
• Only when the oil is hot, whisk the egg yolk and the sparkling water together.
• Pour the egg yolk mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing well. The consistency of the batter should be like melted ice cream.
• Rapidly dip the seafood into the thin batter, shake it off a bit, and drop it into the oil. Do this in batches so the oil temperature does not drop too far. Do not crowd the pot.
• Fry the seafood for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the size. When you hear the roiling, popping, and sizzling subsiding, remove the seafood immediately.
• Once the seafood is out of the oil, lay it on the rack to drain.
• Check the oil temperature between batches. Fry subsequent batches.
• Serve immediately with dipping sauce and enjoy.
