Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut steaks
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.333 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Red chili paste
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
Instructions
In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
Place the flour in another shallow dish for dredging.
Pat the halibut steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Dredge each halibut steak in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat fully. Set aside on a plate.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the halibut steaks in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
To make the chile cilantro aioli, combine mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, red chili paste, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Serve the halibut steaks hot with a generous dollop of chile cilantro aioli on top. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
