Instructions

Sweet ‘N Sour Sauce

  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk all ingredients until fully incorporated.
  • Pour contents into medium-sized pan, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Continue to cook for 3 minutes, then remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

Sesame Noodles

  • Cook lo mein noodles in salted water until al dente, about 5 to 6 minutes, drain water completely, then toss with butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, and hot chili oil. Serve warm with halibut.

Halibut

  • Gently pat halibut fillets dry with paper towel and allow them to come to room temperature, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Season halibut on both sides with salt and pepper, and dredge on all 4 sides with corn starch.
  • In a large pan, add grapeseed oil and bring to medium-high heat. Sear until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add butter, swirl around pan, then flip halibut and butter baste for about 30 seconds. Continue to cook another 2 to 3 minutes until medium-done, or longer for desired doneness.
  • Plate halibut on a bed of sesame noodles and spoon about 2 oz. of sweet ‘n sour sauce over fillets. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
