Method

Preparation of Halibut

  1. 1

    Marinate the Halibut

    In a small bowl, mix together the white miso paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. Place the Pacific Halibut fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fingerling Potatoes

    While the halibut is marinating, wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly, then crush them gently with a fork.

Cooking the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of chili oil over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Fresno Chili

    Slice the Fresno chili thinly, removing seeds if desired for less heat. Set aside for garnish.

Cooking the Halibut

  1. 5

    Sear the Halibut

    In the same skillet used for the spinach, add another tablespoon of chili oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Remove the halibut from the marinade and place in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.

Plating

  1. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On each plate, place a generous portion of sautéed spinach. Top with the crushed fingerling potatoes. Gently place the seared halibut on top and drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over it. Garnish with sliced Fresno chili.
