About This Recipe

"Adapted from Bon Appetit"

Ingredients

    • 5 tablespoons sugar
    • 5 tablespoons fish sauce
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    • 2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 Thai chiles or 1/2 large jalapeno chile, with seeds, minced
    • 1 small carrot, peeled, but into matchstick size strips
    • 4 halibut fillets
    • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
    • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
    • 3/4 lb baby spinach

Directions

  1. Mix first 7 ingredients in a medium glass bowl. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate).
  2. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place carrot in a medium bowl. Cover with ice water. Let stand 15 minutes, then drain well. Brush fish on all sides with 2 Tbsp oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side.
  3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; stir 1 minute. Add spinach; sprinkle with salt. Toss until spinach is wilted but still bright green, about 2 minutes; divide among 4 plates.
  4. Place fish atop spinach. Sprinkle each filet with carrot; drizzle each with 2 Tbsp sauce. Serve with remaining sauce.

  • "This is a wonderful recipe. I made this as written but used Chilean sea bass instead of halibut. Wonderful flavor from the Asian ingredients. We had this with steamed white rice for a delicious, easy and healthy dinner. Thanks for the recipe Valerie!"
