Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 pieces halibut fillet
  • salt and pepper
  • grapeseed oil for searing
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1 mango, (finely diced)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, (chopped)
  • 1 jalapeño, (seeds and ribs removed, finely minced)
  • 1/2 lime juice only
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Make the salsa first. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside to allow flavours to blend.
  • Heat oven to 450°F. Remove skin from halibut, pat dry with cloth or paper towel.
  • Heat an ovenproof sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add grapeseed oil (or other oil with a high smoke point).
  • When it is just barely beginning to smoke, add the halibut pieces with the "presentation side" down and the side from which the skin was removed face up.
  • Sear for 2 to 3 minutes, carefully lifting it with a fish turner to check on the colour.
  • When it has turned golden brown, remove the pan from the heat and transfer it to a preheated 450°F. oven. Bake for 3 - 5 minutes or just until the halibut flakes easily.
  • Remove from the oven, flip the pieces over to lightly sear the other side, then transfer to serving plates.
