HALIBUT STEAKS WITH CHILI AND LIME



Halibut Steaks With Chili and Lime image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds halibut steaks about 1 1/4 inches thick, preferably 4 small- to medium- size steaks or two large ones
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • If you have two large halibut steaks cut each in half, making four portions.
  • Combine the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder and garlic in a shallow dish large enough to hold the halibut steaks in a single layer. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Place the halibut steaks in the dish, turn them once, cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Turn them again and marinate another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat grill or broiler to very hot. Grill or broil the halibut steaks until lightly browned on one side, about six minutes, then turn and cook them on the other side. Baste them with the marinade a couple of times during cooking.
  • When the fish is done, place the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Spoon the heated marinade over the fish and serve at once.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality halibut steaks: Look for steaks that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid steaks that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Season the halibut steaks simply: Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the halibut steaks over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or grill pan: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking and falling apart.
  • Cook the halibut steaks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through: The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve the halibut steaks immediately: Halibut is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.
