Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 pounds halibut fillets
8 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
1 cup fresh dill, leaves picked from stems
1 cup finely sliced scallions
4 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
For the fish marinade
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons fish sauce (nam pla)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
For the pineapple sauce
1/2 cup cubed fresh pineapple
2 garlic cloves
1 Thai chile
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup fish sauce (nam pla)

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium-size bowl, mix the marinade ingredients together. Cut the halibut into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces. Add the fish to the marinade and toss well. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  • 2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a blender, blend the pineapple sauce ingredients until smooth.
  • 3. When the water is boiling, add the vermicelli and stir. Cook until the noodles are soft but not mushy, 1 to 2 minutes. (Or just soak the noodles in a bowl of hot water for 4 to 5 minutes.) Drain well and divide among 4 plates; set aside.
  • 4. Heat a large sauté pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, add half the marinated fish and reduce heat to medium. Cook until the fish starts to brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Carefully turn the fish pieces over, then cook for about 20 seconds more. Add half the dill and scallions and sauté for about 20 seconds, or until the scallions are wilted.
  • 5. Divide the cooked fish, scallions, and dill over 2 of the plates of noodles.
  • 6. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining fish, scallions, and dill, then divide them over the remaining two plates.
  • 7. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of the pineapple sauce over the fish and noodles. Sprinkle with the roasted peanuts and serve immediately. Pass the extra pineapple sauce at the table.

I love the contrast of flavors and textures in this dish. The sweet and tangy pineapple sauce pairs perfectly with the mild fish and vermicelli. The fresh dill adds a refreshing touch, and the crunchy peanuts add a nice textural element.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some grilled salmon that I flaked and added to the sauce. It turned out delicious! I also added a bit of chili powder to the sauce for a little extra spice.

I'm not a big fan of fish, but this dish changed my mind! The pineapple sauce was so flavorful that it masked any fishy taste. The vermicelli was also cooked perfectly, and the whole dish came together beautifully.

I love the vibrant colors of this dish! The green of the dill, the orange of the pineapple, and the white of the fish and vermicelli make for a visually appealing plate. It's a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The vermicelli cooks in just a few minutes, and the sauce comes together quickly. I often add a bit of chopped red bell pepper or snap peas to the sauce for extra color and crunch.
