- Place melted butter in a small dish and add juice of 1/2 lemon.
- Combine all ingredients for the tartar sauce in a small bowl.
- Lightly toast buns on grill pan after fish is removed.
- To assemble, brush bun bottoms and fish with lemon butter. Top fish with tomato and lettuce and slather the bun tops with tartar sauce, then serve. Serve with Asparagus salad and fancy chips.
- Heat shallot and oil in microwave safe covered dish for 30 seconds or in a small pan on the stovetop over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Allow oil to cool back to room temperature.
- Hold a spear of asparagus at each end and snap it. The spear breaks where the tender tops meet the tough bottoms. Line the broken spear up with the bundle of cleaned asparagus. Cut the spears using the guideline of the snapped spear. Par boil the asparagus tops in 1 inch simmering water covered for 3 to 5 minutes. Cool under cold running water and drain. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces on an angle and add to a bowl. Combine chopped, cooked asparagus with shredded endive, red bell pepper, cooked pasta, green peas and chopped parsley. The peas will defrost as you toss salad. Pour vinegar into a small bowl and whisk in cooled shallot oil. Pour dressing over salad and toss.

Steps:
- For the tartar sauce: In a bowl, add the parsley, tarragon, shallot, and cornichon. Chop the hard boiled egg by removing the yolk and crumbling it, then dice the white. Add both yolk and whites to the bowl. Add vinegar, salt, mustard, mayonnaise, and a few dashes of hot sauce (or more to taste). Stir to combine and set aside.
- For the beer batter: In a large mixing bowl, mix the cake flour and baking soda with a fork. Slowly pour in the beer, stirring the entire time (it's okay if there are a few lumps). The batter should be thin, falling off the fork easily so it coats the fish, not heavy like pancake batter. Set aside.
- Fry the halibut: Fill a deep heavy-bottomed pan with oil-don't go higher than 2 inches from the rim-and heat to 350 degrees F. Season the halibut with salt on both sides. Test the oil by cooking a few drops of batter; they should float to the surface when the oil's hot enough. Remove these "tester crunchies" with a slotted spoon. One piece at a time, drop the fish into the beer batter, then remove it, letting the excess drip off. Then place it halfway into the oil, letting a crust form for 10 seconds, then releasing it gently into the pan. Repeat with two more pieces (three at a time), so the pan isn't overcrowded and cook each for 3-4 minutes. Remove the fish to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Season with flaky sea salt and serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.
REGAL ALASKAN'S BLACKENED SHRIMP OR HALIBUT
This recipe was given to me by a chef at the Regal Alaskan Hotel in Anchorage, Alaska, while on a fishing trip. This is by far the best tasting fish or shrimp I have ever had, and tons of people agree with me. I have used this recipe several times for large parties and have yet to find anyone not completely satisfied. If you cook the food properly it will not come out burnt, but will have some charring on the outside and be perfect on the inside. My favorite is the blackened shrimp with the cajun hollandaise sauce, it is to die for. (If you don't wish to make the blacken seasoning, I've found Cajun's Choice blackened seasoning to be the best store bought blackened seasoning on the market)

Steps:
- This recipe is designed to feed however many people you want. Just adjust the amount of melted butter, blacken seasoning, and hollandaise to accommodate the number of servings you need.
- For Blacken Seasoning: Mix all ingredients in a bowl making sure to mix everything very well.
- For Cajun Hollandaise Sauce: Saute the ham and shrimp in butter until the shrimp is cooked thoroughly.
- Add the blacken seasoning to taste and allow the mixture to cool.
- After the ham and shrimp mixture has cooled, fold together the shrimp/ham mixture, diced tomato, green onion, and hollandaise sauce.
- For the Blackened Shrimp or Halibut: For this recipe it is best to use a cast iron skillet or griddle on a bbq grill or an outdoor propane cooker, I prefer a large cast iron skillet and a propane cooker.
- For shrimp: peel, de-vein, and butterfly the shrimp.
- For halibut: cut halibut filets to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Heat cast iron skillet to 700 degrees (the skillet will smoke and the bottom will start to turn white) Dredge butterflied shrimp, or halibut filets, in butter then coat one side with blacken seasoning.
- Place shrimp (or halibut) seasoning side down in the skillet and coat the other side with blacken seasoning.
- Cook for 2 1/2 minutes and then turn the shrimp (or halibut) and cook until desired doneness (usually only takes about another minute or two) Serve shrimp on a pool of Cajun Hollandaise Sauce, reserving enough sauce to dip shrimp into.
- This recipe will also work for cooking steaks or thicker pieces of halibut but you need to cook as above and then finish in the oven.
- WARNING: You will create a large amount of smoke when using this cooking method.
- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS METHOD INSIDE YOUR HOUSE OR GARAGE!
- (Unless you wish to invite your local fire department to join you for dinner.) WARNING Number 2: Cooking shrimp or halibut using this method has been known to be extremely addictive once you have tasted the results.

Steps:
- 1. In small bowl, combine mayonnaise, green onions, and lemon pepper. Squeeze lemon over each halibut steak and season with blackening seasoning or just top with 1/4 cup of tartar sauce, spread to cover one side.
- 2. Preheat grill to medium high heat. Slightly grease grill. Place tartar encrusted halibut on grill. Grill for 10 minutes or until halibut flakes with fork. Serve with lemon wedges.
Tips:
- Start with high-quality, fresh halibut fillets. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell.
- Make sure your grill is hot before cooking the halibut. This will help to create a nice crust on the fish and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
- Season the halibut fillets generously with blackened seasoning. This will help to give the fish a flavorful crust.
- Cook the halibut fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- Serve the blackened halibut fillets immediately with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Blackened Alaskan grilled halibut is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The blackened seasoning gives the fish a flavorful crust, while the tartar sauce adds a creamy and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
