Indian-Style Halibut Recipe with Spices and Yogurt

This Indian-style halibut recipe is a delicious and healthy way to prepare halibut. The fish is marinated in a mix of spices and yogurt, giving it a tangy and flavorful taste. It is then grilled or baked to perfection, resulting in a tender and flaky fish. Serve it with steamed rice and a side of fresh vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds halibut fillets
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
2. Place the halibut fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the fish is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
4. If grilling, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. If baking, lightly oil a baking dish.
5. Remove the halibut fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets on the grill or in the baking dish.
6. If grilling, cook the halibut for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. If baking, cook the halibut for about 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
7. Once cooked, transfer the halibut fillets to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
8. Serve the Indian-style halibut hot with steamed rice and your choice of fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
