Ingredients
- 50g/2oz parmesan
- ½ tsp mild Madras curry powder
- ¼ tsp garam masala
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 500g/1lb halibut
- 2 limes, juice and zest, plus 1 lime, juice only
- 25g/1oz butter
- 25g/1oz sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 banana shallot
- 1 garlic
- 1 heaped tsp garam masala
- 1 heaped tsp mild Madras curry powder
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- 500g/1lb 2oz new potatoes
- 50g/2oz baby spinach
- , to taste salt
- 1 x 20g/¾oz punnet coriander cress
Instructions
- For the parmesan-crusted halibut, in a bowl, mix together the parmesan, curry powder, garam masala, turmeric and salt until well combined.
- Dredge one side of each cube of halibut in the parmesan mixture until thickly coated.
- Heat a heavy, non-stick frying pan over a low to medium heat. When the pan is warm, add the halibut cubes, parmesan-coated sides down, and dry fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the parmesan crusts are crisp and golden-brown.
- Season the halibut cubes, to taste, with salt, then turn them over and remove the pan from the heat. (NB: The residual heat from the pan will cook the other sides of the halibut cubes.)
- For the lime emulsion, immediately add all of the lime emulsion ingredients to the pan containing the halibut cubes and set aside for 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the sag aloo, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
- Add the spices and continue to fry for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Add the cooked new potatoes and continue to cook for a further minute, or until warmed through.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the baby spinach. Stir well until the spinach has wilted, then season, to taste, with salt.
- To serve, divide the sag aloo equally among each of four serving plates. Place four cubes of parmesan-crusted halibut on top of each portion of sag aloo. Transfer the lime emulsion mixture from the pan to a bowl and whisk until well combined, then drizzle it over the halibut cubes and around the edge of the plates. Garnish with the coriander cress.
