Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes
Recipe from The Popsie Test Kitchen
Ingredients
Halibut
- 4 Popsie Halibut 6 ounce portions
- 2 Tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
- 2 small yellow onions finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 lemon
- 1 ½ Tablespoons raw sugar
- 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
Spice Mixture
- 1 Tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 Tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 Tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1 Tablespoon curry powder
- 1 Tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 Tablespoon granulated garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground clove
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly season halibut with salt and set aside.
- Place a wide and shallow, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.
- Begin by sauteing onions in ghee (or unsalted butter) until soft and golden.
- Add garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
-
Add spice mixture to pan and toast spices until fragrant, but DO NOT burn. This should only take about 30 seconds.
- Add yogurt, heavy cream, sugar, salt and a squeeze of lemon and bring to a light simmer.
- As your curry base cooks, it will become rich and darker in color, taking approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon and salt, if needed.
- Gently add halibut to the simmering curry base and baste each portion generously.
- Cover with a lid slightly cracked for pressure to escape and braise for 15 minutes.
- Check for doneness with a fork. The fish should flake away and be white all the way through, but still moist.
