Halibut cheeks are really delicious and super-easy to cook. Here they are pan-seared and served with a zingy orange sauce with Asian seasonings. Great with asparagus and jasmine rice for a light and tasty Spring dinner. Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh orange juice |
2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro |
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root |
1 clove garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon soy sauce |
1 teaspoon sesame oil |
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 (3 ounce) halibut cheeks |
Directions:
1. Whisk the orange juice, cilantro, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the halibut cheeks until golden brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour the orange juice mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove halibut cheeks to a plate and drizzle with orange sauce to serve.
