Sesame-crusted Halibut:
l/2 cup all-purpose flour
l/2 teaspoon salt
l/2 teaspoon white pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
l/2 cup sesame seeds
4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
l/2 cup vegetable oil
Poblano Cream Sauce:
6 poblano chiles
1 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup butter
1/2 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded
cheddar cheese
Chopped green onions for garnish

Steps:

  • For Halibut: Combine first 3 ingredients in a shallow dish. Place beaten eggs in a shallow dish. Place sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Dredge fish in flour mixture; dip in eggs. Press one side of fish into sesame seeds. Heat oil in a large skillet over mediumhigh heat. Cook fish, seed-side up, 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly brown. Turn, and cook 3 to 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Spoon Poblano Cream Sauce on plates and top with fish. Sprinkle with green onions. Makes 4 servings. For Poblano Sauce: Place chiles on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Broil chiles 3 inches from heat 8 to 10 minutes on each side or until charred. Place chiles in a heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag; seal and let stand 10 minutes to loosen skins. Peel and seed chiles, discarding skins. Combine chiles and broth in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and stir in chile mixture. Add cream cheese and cheddar cheese, stirring constantly. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until cheeses melt. Makes 2 1/3 cups.
