Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 1 cup Sake
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 inch piece, thinly sliced Ginger
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 medium, thinly sliced into rounds Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh dill
- 1 whole (cut into wedges for serving) Lemon
- 1 teaspoon (to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.
In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, combine the sake, soy sauce, sliced ginger, and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
Place the halibut fillets in a single layer in the skillet. Cover tightly with the lid and reduce the heat to low. Steam the halibut for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the halibut is steaming, prepare the dilled carrots. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Stir in the chopped dill and season the carrots with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Once the halibut is fully cooked, carefully remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer to serving plates. Discard the ginger slices from the steaming liquid.
Serve the halibut alongside the dilled carrots. Garnish each plate with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the fish just before eating.
