Categories     Ginger     Onion     Fry     Quick & Easy     Vinegar     Halibut     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 whole scallion, sliced thin, plus the green parts of 2 scallions, sliced thin
1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/4 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
a 1-inch-thick halibut steak (about 1 pound), the skin and bone discarded and the fish cut into 3/4-inch pieces
all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper for dredging the fish
vegetable oil for frying the fish
cooked rice as a accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a saucepan simmer the water and the vinegar with the sliced whole scallion, the gingerroot, the sugar, the soy sauce, and the ketchup, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, add the sesame oil and the cornstarch mixture, stirred, and simmer the sauce, stirring, for 2 minutes. Keep the sauce warm, covered.
  • In a bag shake the halibut in the flour, transfer it to a large sieve or colander, and shake it to remove the excess. In a large deep skillet heat 1/4 inch of the vegetable oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry the halibut in 2 batches, turning it, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it is cooked through, transferring it as it is cooked with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Add the halibut to the sauce, stirring to coat it well, and serve it over the rice and sprinkle with the scallion greens.

Tips:

  • Use fresh halibut steaks or fillets for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you can't find halibut, you can substitute another firm, mild-flavored white fish such as cod, tilapia, or sole.
  • Be sure to pat the fish dry before cooking to help it crisp up in the pan.
  • Use a good quality sweet and sour sauce. You can either make your own or use a store-bought brand.
  • To make the sauce, combine pineapple juice, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the halibut with steamed rice or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour halibut is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The halibut is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sweet and sour sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
