Ginger halibut with soba noodles and seaweed salad
|
This is a great spring dish.
Fragrance of ginger, mint, green onions,
cucumber and mango
makes me think of a spring bouquet that adorns a
delicate and juicy halibut.
Wine: Chenin Blanc
Tips: Seaweed salad is available in most of the
Japanese grocery stores, Japanese restaurants, and even
in some supermarkets. Soba noodles are Japanese buckwheat
noodles and are available in Japanese grocery stores and
many supermarkets. Alternatively, you can use other Oriental
noodles.

Ingredients
|
Directions
|
2 Tbsp sesame seed oil
3 Tbsp Teriyaki Sauce
1 Tbsp minced ginger
2 Tbsp chopped green onions
2 Lb Halibut steaks (1" thick)
or
1.5 Lb Halibut fillets (center cut)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
|
Mix sesame oil, teriyaki sauce, ginger and green
onions in a pyrex dish that is large enough to hold
the fish in one layer.
Season halibut with salt and pepper.
Add to marinade and turn to coat. If using fillets,
put them skin side up. Let sit 10-20 minutes.
While fish is marinating, preheat the broiler.

8 oz of uncooked soba noodles
1 Tbsp sesame seed oil
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp minced ginger
2 large carrots julienned
1 cup sprouts
1 mango peeled and diced
2 Tbsp chopped green onions
2 Tbsp chopped mint
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
|
Boil soba noodles according to the instructions
on the package. Strain and rinse with cold water.
The noodles should be cool.
Put noodles into a large bowl, and
stir in the rest of the ingredients on the left.
Correct the seasoning.

Broiler pan
1 cucumber peeled and seeded
1/2 tsp lemon juice
salt to taste
6 oz seaweed salad
|
Put halibut into a broiler pan
(if using fillets put them on the broiler pan skin side down).
Put under
the broiler for 8-10 minutes or until you can
separate a flake with a fork. Halibut is a very moist fish,
just because
it looks wet inside does not mean it's not done.
Cut cucumber into thin stripes about 1 inch long.
In a small bowl, toss cucumber with lemon juice and salt.
Serve noodles onto individual plates.
Top with halibut and spoon the sauce from the
broiler pan over it. Top with seaweed salad and cucumbers.
