At Savory Sadhana, we celebrate the richness and versatility of our spice blends through a wide array of recipes. While our household is proudly 100% vegetarian, we want to honor the diversity of cooking styles and flavors that these spices can inspire. The Halibut recipe featured here is kindly shared by my sister, Payal, from India. Her culinary expertise and creativity bring a unique perspective to our spice blends, showcasing their adaptability across cuisines and preferences.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 2 halibut fillets (6 oz each)
- 1½ tsp Savory Sadhana Sambar Masala Blend
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for marinade)
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ lemon (cut into wedges for serving)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, mix Sambar Masala Blend, paprika, garlic powder, lemon zest, and salt with olive oil to create a thick paste.
- Marinate the Halibut:
- Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Rub the spice paste generously over both sides of the fillets. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Cook the Halibut:
- Heat iron skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Place the marinated fillets in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a golden crust.
- Serve:
- Plate the halibut with a wedge of lemon and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley. Serve with roasted vegetables, quinoa, or herbed rice.
Pro Tip:
- For the halibut, adding some raw brown or coconut sugar to the spice paste before cooking can create a sweet-and-spicy glaze.
