Hot summer nights call for the quickest and lightest of meals. This weekend, try out this lemongrass-poached halibut recipe from Alaska Seafood.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 stem lemongrass, smashed
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 chopped shallot
  • 3 cups chicken or veggie stock
  • 4, 5-6 oz. halibut fillets
  • ½ teaspoon kosher 

 

Instructions:

Prepare the poaching liquid by combining lemongrass, garlic, ginger, shallot, and stock; bring to a simmer. Turn off heat and add halibut fillets. Return heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes for frozen fish or 2 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Turn off heat and let the fish rest in liquid for 5 minutes. Season with salt and baste with broth to serve.

Enjoy! Halibut is in season from March to December.
