Directions

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.
