Ingredients:
6 halibut fillets, cut to 1/2 to 3/4-inch thickness (1/2 pound to 1 pound per person) |
cajun spice, recipe follows |
1 stick butter, clarified |
mango chutney, recipe follows |
2 to 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper, to taste |
1 teaspoon dry mustard |
2 teaspoons garlic powder or granulated garlic |
2 teaspoons onion powder |
1 teaspoon celery salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme |
1 teaspoon ground pink or white pepper peppercorns |
1 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced |
2 to 4 fresh mangoes, chopped (can substitute kiwi, peach or cantaloupe) |
1 cup dried cranberries (recommended: craisins) |
1 small lemon, zested |
1 cup brown sugar |
1 cup cider vinegar |
dash ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Heat a cast iron skillet directly over hot coals in a barbeque until smoky hot. Alternatively, heat the skillet on the stove over high heat until very hot. Sprinkle Cajun Spice on the fish, or, for a more robust flavor, dredge the fillets in the Cajun Spice, coating both sides of fish. When the pan is hot, pour approximately 2 tablespoons of clarified butter into pan, and reduce heat to medium-high. Carefully add as many fillets as will fit in the skillet, leaving at least 1/2-inch in between each. Cook the fish for approximately 2 minutes on the first side, and then flip the fillets with a fish spatula. While flipping the fish, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons clarified butter to the pan, and sear the fish on the second side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Repeat with remaining fish fillets, adding more butter as needed.
2. Serve the halibut on a bed of white or wild rice. Pour the Mango Chutney over the fish, and serve with a green salad on the side.
