CRISPY POTATO NUGGETS WITH BEER CHEESE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat the cooking oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• For the beer cheese: Add butter and flour to a small saucepan over medium heat, then stir and cook until the butter and flour are fully blended, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the beer and milk, whisking to combine. Bring this to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Slowly stir in the grated cheeses and cook on low heat until incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

OLIVE-OIL POACHED HALIBUT NUGGETS WITH GARLIC AND MINT

Steps:

• Season halibut all over with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. In a medium-size skillet just large enough to hold fish cubes in a single layer, heat oil over low heat. Add fish, rosemary sprig and dried mint, and let cook slowly until fish begins to turn opaque, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and cook until garlic is fragrant and fish is just cooked through, another 3 minutes or so (heat should be low enough so as not to brown the garlic or fish but high enough to gently cook everything; the cooking time will vary widely with your stove).
• Taste and add more salt and pepper and a few drops of lemon juice if desired. Stir in the fresh mint and serve, using a slotted spoon if you want to leave the poaching oil in pan; it is delicious over couscous or potatoes.

CORIANDER-CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH RICE NOODLES AND GINGER BROTH

Flip and place pan in oven for 8 to10 minutes or until the fish in flaky and hot in the middle. Concurrently, in a hot saucepan, coat lightly with oil and saute the ginger and leeks until soft, about 4 minutes. Deglaze with fish sauce and add stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce by 20 percent. Check for seasoning then add lime juice and cilantro. Right before serving, add the soft rice noodles. Bring to temperature then serve.
• PLATING In large, warm pasta bowls, ladle the broth, leeks and noodles. Make a small pile in the middle with the mixture and top with halibut. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
