Pixies Indian Style Halibut Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the water and 1 tablespoon salt in a shallow container. Soak the fish in the salt water for 10 minutes.
• Mix the turmeric, coriander, paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Remove fish from the salt water and pat dry with paper towels. Coat fish on both sides with spice mixture.
• Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook fish in hot oil until it flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes per side. Serve garnished with cilantro.

Steps:

• Combine cumin, turmeric, coriander, fennel, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste. Rub fish steaks on both sides with juice of 1/2 lemon, then rub with all but 2 teaspoons of spice mixture. Refrigerate 3 hours.
• While fish marinates, heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a skillet, add ginger and onion and sauté until onion just starts to brown. Stir in remaining spices and sauté, stirring, until spices smell toasty, then add corn and juice of 1/2 lemon. Cook briefly and set aside.
• Remove fish from refrigerator and brush on both sides with remaining ghee or butter. Heat grill and oil grates. When hot, place fish on grill over medium-hot coals or gas fire and cook about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to turn fish and grill 3 to 4 minutes, until a little liquid just begins to pool on surface of fish and a paring knife inserted just at the bone can move flesh away from it easily. Salmon should be cooked about 3 minutes on each side. Remove fish to a warm platter or individual plates.
• Reheat corn mixture, adding cilantro and a couple tablespoons water to moisten it. Spoon corn on fish, garnish with wedges cut from remaining lemon and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice and water. Cut an X in bottom of each tomato; plunge into boiling water. Cook until skin starts to peel back, about 30 seconds. Plunge into the ice bath to stop the cooking. When cool, peel off and discard skin. Cut tomatoes in half; squeeze out seeds. Chop; set aside.
• In a food processor, combine curry powder, fenugreek, salt, mustard, cardamom, and cloves. Pulse to combine. Add garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and water. Puree until a smooth paste forms; set aside.
• Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in curry paste; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion and half the stock; cook until onion starts to soften, about 3 minutes. Add chile and remaining stock. Bring to boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer, add fish and tomatoes, and cook until fish is opaque in the center, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in yogurt just before serving.
