Broiled Fish With Garlic Oil And Dried Chile Food

PAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH CHILI GARLIC OIL

Steps:

• Season the fish. Pat the halibut dry on both sides with a paper towel, then generously season on both sides with Kosher salt and black pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.
• Heat the pan. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes, until very hot. Add grapeseed oil (or other neutral oil). You're looking for a thin layer on the bottom of the pan.
• Sear the halibut. When hot, add halibut steaks and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes. This will help the fish form a crust that makes it easier to flip.
• Make the chili garlic oil. In a medium bowl, combine chili oil and sesame oil, then whisk well. Keep smashed cloves close by.
• Add sauce. Use a fish spatula to carefully flip halibut steaks over. Pour the chili garlic oil on top, then add garlic cloves to the pan. Cook an additional 4-5 minutes, or until halibut has reached an internal temperature of between 130F - 135F. Tilt the pan slightly during the last few minutes of cook time, then use a large spoon to collect the sauce and baste the fish fillets or steaks.
• Garnish then serve. Transfer cooked halibut to serving plates, then garnish with fresh herbs (basil, cilantro, mint, or a combination), lime wedges, and thinly sliced chilies. Recommended wine pairing: Mumm Napa Brut Rosé
