Post for Dan - Halibut Dinner.

Hi Dan;

Thought it best to move it over here and not interrupt the BST post.

So here's how I'm doing dinner this evening:

Start with high quality fish. Given a choice unless you live next to the coast buy frozen not fresh. I caught this off Kodiak Island last July::

I would prefer to grill the halibut but it's a bit chilly out so I'm going to saute the fillet. I like to use a combination of clarified butter and Citron extra virgin olive oil. Don't buy that pomace and second press stuff, it has no flavor at all. Here's the citron I like to use:

I also like just a hint of this:

As a final touch I like to use this as a final light rub. I like the blend of lemon/lime and I like cilantro as well. It adds a big burst of flavor if you don't have fresh cilantro to dice...

I'm going to serve the halibut on a bed of basmati rice. If you're not familiar with rices shop around. Anything is better than white rice..

For a side I made a quick pasta dish. Here's the tri-color pasta being drained. Sort of looks like slugs in there huh?

Take the pasta and mix with this. Dice the artichokes a bit. Slivers seem to be easy to stab with a fork:

And this. Actually this is a great excuse to clear out any vegetables that may be lurking in the fridge.

Blend all this with whatever Italian dressing you have in the refrigerator door.

Yum!

Dang you need to on the Food Channel.

That Halibut recipe looks yummy!

How about a glass of Acacia Chardonnay to go with it!

I'll have to say it was quite tasty! I'm in the food bizz so there is always plenty of goodies to experiment with. I think this evening I'll work up a honey chipotle salmon fillet (King salmon I caught in Alaska) with jasmine rice and a caesar salad. I found out today we just picked up the Mars food line which includes Uncle Ben products. I'll have all kinds of new stuff to try in 2012!
