Ingredients
For the Fish:
- 2 Thick Cut Halibut Steaks 400-450g Total
- ¼-½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cooking Oil
- 2 tablespoon Butter
- 2 Lime Leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
- Freshly Chopped Coriander For Garnish
For the Thai Curry Sauce:
- 200 ml Coconut Milk ⅔ Cup + 2 tablespoon
- 2 tablespoon Thai Yellow Curry Paste 30-35g
- 1 teaspoon Lime Juice
- ½ teaspoon Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the halibut with the salt and set it aside.
- Place the coconut milk in a small (15cm or 6") saucepan over a medium heat, add the coconut milk, followed by the yellow curry paste. Heat and stir until the sauce comes to a boil and the curry paste has been thoroughly incorporated.
- Add the lime juice, brown sugar and fish sauce to the coconut milk, have a taste and tweak the flavours to your liking. Reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer whilst you cook the fish.
- Heat a 30cm or 12" frying pan over a high heat, whilst this is happening, scrunch up the lime leaves to bruise them.
- Add the cooking oil to the pan, followed by the butter. When the butter begins to foam, place the fish into the frying pan (presentation side down), along with the lime leaves. Cook the fish for 3-3½ minutes, do not mess with the fish, let it sit.
- Flip the fish so that it is skin side down, add the lime juice for the fish, and cook, basting the fish with the butter for a final 1½-2 minutes.
- Remove the fish and let it rest for a minute, peel off the skin from the fish and then plate it on a pool of the Thai curry sauce.
