Firecracker Halibut Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat broiler/oven or grill to medium-high heat.
• Mix together all dry seasoning ingredients until well combined.
• Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water, pat dry with paper towel. Place halibut on a spray-coated or foil-lined baking sheet. Brush butter onto top surfaces of halibut and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon seasoning mixture (note: for best results with frozen fish, cook halibut 4 minutes before adding butter and spices.).
• Grill or broil halibut 5-7 inches from heat for 13 minutes for frozen halibut OR 8 minutes for fresh/thawed fish . Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
• Store remaining seasoning mixture in an airtight container for future use.

Steps:

• Combine mayonnaise, crab, garlic, salt, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and tarragon in a bowl for the crab aioli. Stir to combine and refrigerate until needed.
• Remove tails from shrimp and keep chilled until ready to use.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Whisk buttermilk, hot sauce, chipotle pepper, cayenne, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl.
• Mix flour, cornmeal, paprika, and salt together in a shallow dish for the breading.
• Slice partway through each sandwich roll, splitting it open. Scoop out some bread from the top to make room for the filling.
• Toast rolls in the preheated oven until crisp, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Soak shrimp in the buttermilk mixture for about 5 minutes.
• Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Spread crab aioli generously over both sides of each roll; top with sliced lettuce.
• Toss shrimp in the breading to coat; shake off any excess. Fry shrimp in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and immediately transfer shrimp onto the rolls. Sprinkle cayenne pepper on top.

Steps:

• Line crackers on ends (like dominoes) in an air-tight container.
• In a small bowl, mix oil, dressing mix, peppers, and garlic powder.
• Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
• Continue to stir to prevent the pepper from settling on the bottom of the bowl.
• Spoon mixture evenly over crackers, like drizzling icing on a cake.
• Close lid tightly and flip the container over every 5 minutes for about 20 minutes. Lightly shake back and forth to make sure all the crackers are coated.
• Store in a ziplock bag. Will keep for about a week -- if they last that long!

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/2 of the jalapeno pepper, garlic, vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a mini food processor or small blender jar; blend until smooth.
• Place salmon fillets in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade on top, seal, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Remove from refrigerator and let the bag sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Remove salmon from marinade and pat dry. Place salmon on the prepared baking sheet and season with additional salt and pepper. Slice remaining jalapeno pepper thinly and place on top of salmon.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Brush 2 teaspoons maple syrup onto the fillets and return to the hot oven. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
