Recipe of the week: Poached Halibut in Coconut Curry Broth

March 29, 20141 CommentRecipesBy Captain Tom Ohaus

Poached Halibut in Coconut CUrry Broth

 

Let’s begin by gathering our ingredients for Poached Halibut in Coconut Curry Sauce:

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
24 ounces fresh spinach
salt and pepper to taste
3 shallots, diced
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 ½ cups chicken broth
14 oz coconut milk
½ teaspoon sugar
2 halibut fillets
¼ cup cilantro
¼ cup green onions
1 half of a lime, juiced

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach to the pan and season it generously with salt and pepper. Toss the spinach in the olive oil until the spinach just begins to wilt down. Remove the spinach to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the moisture from the pan and return the skillet to the heat.

Add the other tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Saute the shallots in the oil for 2-3 minutes until tender and fragrant.

Add the 1 tablespoon curry paste, followed by the 1 1/2 cup chicken broth,  14 oz. coconut milk, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and allow the curry to reduce by half. Taste for seasoning and add salt, if needed.

Cut halibut into manageable sized pieces. Season the halibut fillets lightly with salt. Place the halibut fillets into the broth, spooning some of the broth over the top. Cover the pan and allow the fillets to poach about 5-7 minutes.

To the curry broth, stir in the 1/8 cup cilantro, 1/8 cup green onion, and the juice of half a lime.

Distribute the sautéed spinach evenly between 4 serving bowls. Carefully place a halibut fillet on top of each bed of spinach. Ladle the broth over each of the halibut fillets. Garnish with fresh cilantro and green onion. Plate to serve. Enjoy!

Poached Halibut in Coconut Curry Broth
Poached Halibut in Coconut Curry Broth
By Alaska from Scratch on 03/29/2014
Wild Alaska halibut fillets poached in a spicy sweet Thai coconut red curry broth and served over sautéed spinach
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 24 ounces fresh spinach salt and pepper to taste 3 shallots, diced 1 tablespoon red curry paste 1 ½ cups chicken broth 14 oz coconut milk ½ teaspoon sugar 2 halibut fillets ¼ cup cilantro ¼ cup green onions 1 half of a lime, juiced
Instructions:
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach to the pan and season it generously with salt and pepper. Toss the spinach in the olive oil until the spinach just begins to wilt down. Remove the spinach to a bowl and set aside. Wipe out the moisture from the pan and return the skillet to the heat. Add the other tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Saute the shallots in the oil for 2-3 minutes until tender and fragrant. Add the 1 tablespoon curry paste, followed by the 1 1/2 cup chicken broth, 14 oz. coconut milk, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and allow the curry to reduce by half. Taste for seasoning and add salt, if needed. Season the halibut fillets lightly with salt. Place the halibut fillets into the broth, spooning some of the broth over the top. Cover the pan and allow the fillets to poach about 5-7 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fillets), or until cooked to medium rare to medium, being very careful not to overcook (halibut dries out quickly and we want to avoid that). To the curry broth, stir in the 1/8 cup cilantro, 1/8 cup green onion, and the juice of half a lime. Distribute the sautéed spinach evenly between 4 serving bowls. Carefully place a halibut fillet on top of each bed of spinach. Ladle the broth over each of the halibut fillets. Garnish with fresh cilantro and green onion.
