Nori Dusted Alaska Halibut Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix all dry ingredients in a small bowl. Stir in harissa, garlic and olive oil.
• Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Place halibut portions in spray-coated baking dish. Spoon and spread spice mixture over top of halibut. Cover dish with foil; seal. Roast 18 to 25 minutes for frozen halibut or 10 to 15 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
• Variation: Remove foil during last 10 minutes of cooking, until lightly browned.

Steps:

• Combine all pesto ingredients in a blender or food processor; blend. Drizzle in more olive oil or water, if needed, until you get a salsa-like consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside. Heat grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Brush halibut and grill surface with oil; grill 5 to 7 inches from heat about 8 minutes, turning once during cooking. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout. Season with salt and pepper. To assemble tacos: Char tortillas on grill or grill pan. Top each taco with a big pinch of shaved red cabbage. Break halibut into chunks and distribute evenly between tortillas. Top with a generous spoonful of pesto, a sprinkle of extra cotija cheese, and a lime wedge.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove skin from steaks and the flesh away from the bone; you'll end up with 4 pieces of fish from each steak so you have 8 small fillets in all. Cut a slit on the side of each piece and stuff with some of olivada. Lightly season the two sides of the steaks with salt and pepper. Transfer them to a baking pan, drizzle the top with olive oil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until just cooked through.
• Keep your eye on the fish; you really don't want to overbake it or it will dry out; the insides should have a trace of translucence in them.
