Best Coconut Lime Halibut Recipes

BRAZILIAN HALIBUT WITH COCONUT-LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• In a flat dish with sides, combine 1 Tbsp. oil with all the lime juice. Marinate the fish in the mixture while the other ingredients are cooking (or marinate it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours).
• In a large heavy skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium heat, and sauté the onions, peppers, and garlic for 5 - 7 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender.
• Add the fish to the skillet and pour the marinade and coconut milk over it. Add the tomatoes to the pan and sprinkle the salt over everything.
• Simmer the fish for 8 - 10 minutes until it is cooked through and flakes easily, flipping it halfway through the cooking time. Serve it hot.

COCONUT-POACHED FISH WITH BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Season fish well with salt. In a large sauté pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, ginger and chile, and cook, stirring often until they become translucent, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
• Add coconut milk, fish sauce and brown sugar, and whisk together until combined and sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer. Add cod fillets and turn the heat down to low. Cover and cook until cod is just cooked through and opaque, about 6 to 8 minutes. Carefully remove the fish and plate in bowls.
• Add bok choy to the coconut milk broth and turn heat to medium-low. Cook bok choy until leaves are wilted and stems are tender, about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Divide bok choy evenly alongside the fish and ladle the coconut milk broth over each portion. Top with cilantro, scallions and a good squeeze of lime, and serve with remaining wedges on the side. Garnish with flaky salt, if desired.

THAI-STYLE HALIBUT WITH COCONUT-CURRY BROTH

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer until reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes.
• Season the halibut with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Arrange the fish in the pan and gently shake the pan so the fish is coated with the sauce. Cover and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes.
• Steam or microwave the baby spinach for 2 minutes.
• Arrange a pile of steamed spinach in the bottom of 4 soup plates. Top with the fish fillets. Stir the cilantro, scallions, and lime juice into the sauce and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Ladle the sauce over the fish and serve with rice.

COCONUT LIME HALIBUT

Steps:

• Place halibut filet in baking dish. Combine all ingredients and pour over fish. Bake for 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Serve with steamed rice and pair with a savignon blanc.

COCONUT WALNUT HALIBUT

Steps:

• To prepare the fish, first coat the fish with flour, tap off excess and then dip into the egg wash. Mix the breadcrumbs, coconut and walnuts together in a third pan. Finish the fish in the coconut breading mixture. Ensure that the breading is evenly covering the fish, and then repeat with the remaining fish.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-duty pot or deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. Once the fish has been breaded, drop the breaded fish into the oil and cook until golden brown, about 90 seconds. Flip the fish once during the cooking process. Once cooked, remove and allow to rest on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• During resting, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then squeeze the lemon over the cooked fish. Serve.

HALIBUT STEAKS WITH CHILI AND LIME

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.
