Main Ingredients
- 70g Halibut (use leftover sashimi)
- 2 cloves Garlic (thinly sliced or minced)
- 1 Tbsp Perilla Oil
- 1/3 tsp Dried Rosemary
Seasoning
- 0.6 tsp Salt (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- A pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 0.3 tsp Gochugaru (Korean chili powder, approx. 1/4 tsp)
- 0.6 tsp Salt (approx. 1/2 tsp)
- A pinch of Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
- 0.3 tsp Gochugaru (Korean chili powder, approx. 1/4 tsp)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Cut the halibut into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the halibut with the sliced or minced garlic, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Gently mix to marinate. Finally, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of perilla oil and toss to ensure it coats the fish evenly. This step infuses the halibut with the aromatic flavors of garlic and rosemary, and the richness of the perilla oil, making it even more delicious.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated halibut and cook for about 5-6 minutes, alternating between high and medium heat. It’s important to sear it quickly on high heat for a crispy exterior and then reduce to medium heat to ensure it cooks through gently. Be careful not to burn it, and flip it occasionally to cook evenly.
Step 3
Arrange the perfectly seared halibut attractively on a plate. You can include any remaining flavorful oil, garlic, and rosemary bits from the pan for an extra layer of taste.
Step 4
Finally, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds and 0.3 teaspoon of gochugaru for a finishing touch. The nutty sesame seeds and the mild heat from the chili powder enhance the halibut’s flavor, completing this simple yet elegant dish. Enjoy it while it’s warm!
