Pistachio Crusted Halibut with Chipotle Mango Spot Prawns
This delicate white fish pairs beautifully with the nutty crunch of crushed pistachios and the spicy sweetness of chipotle mango Spot Prawns.
Ingredients:
1 lb thawed Halibut Fillets, cut into 2-3” strips (Lingcod Fillets work as well!)
1 lb thawed BC Spot Prawn Tails
1/2 cup unsalted pistachio nuts
1/4 cup mayonnaise (you can use sriracha mayonnaise if you like a bit of spice)
1/2 tsp lemon zest
1 lemon
2 tsp chipotle mango seasoning
1 tbsp salted butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions for cooking the halibut:
Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Pour pistachios into a Ziploc bag and crush them with either a kitchen hammer or by rolling a rolling pin over the bag a few times. The coarseness of the crush is entirely up to you.
Pour the crushed pistachios onto a plate, and sprinkle the lemon zest over top.
Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Brush the tops of the fillets with mayonnaise.
Gently press the brushed tops of the fillets onto the pistachio mixture and place on a baking sheet, pistachio side up.
Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-15 minutes, until the fish just begins to flake.
Directions for cooking the Spot Prawns:
While your halibut is in the oven, pre-heat a frying pan on your stovetop on medium to high heat.
Add the butter when the pan is hot, followed by the prawns, chipotle mango seasoning, and pepper.
Pan fry for 2-3 minutes, until the prawns begin to curl. Squeeze about a quarter of a lemon’s juice as they are cooking.
Remove from heat promptly.
To Serve:
Serve with rice and a salad, and garnish with lemon and basil - Enjoy!

1 Albacore tuna loin (about 1 lb) cut into 1-inch steaks
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice

1 jar of your favourite Teriyaki sauce
Cilantro
Sriracha mayonnaise

Combine the orange juice, soya sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, sesame oil, and Italian parsley in a large Ziploc bag with the tuna steaks. Turn so the steaks are covered and allow to marinate for about half an hour, turning occasionally.
Directions for stir-frying the vegetables:
While your steaks are marinating, pre-heat a frying pan on your stovetop over medium to high heat. When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil and allow it to heat for about 30 secs.
Add the chopped onion and carrots. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion has softened. Add in the celery, bell pepper, and snap peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Ingredients:
Vegetable oil for your deep fryer
3-4 lbs Lingcod fillets, skin removed
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp tarragon
3/4 cup beer (lager works best)
2 egg whites
3-4 lbs Russet potatoes, cut into french fries

Directions for cooking the french fries:
Pre-heat your deep fryer to 375 degrees F.
Pre-heat your oven to 175 degrees F (this is to keep the fries warm as you cook them in batches)
Deep fry the potatoes in batches for about 7 minutes each. As you remove each batch from the fryer, lightly salt them and transfer them to a wire rack on a baking sheet. Transfer them to the oven to keep them warm as you cook the other batches of fries.
Directions for cooking the lingcod:
Cut the fillets into 1-2 inch strips and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.
Prepare the batter - Whisk together in a medium sized bowl the flour, salt, pepper, and tarragon. Whisk in the beer. Gently fold in two whisked egg whites.
Coat the lingcod pieces with the batter and deep fry for about 5 minutes or until nicely golden. Remove from the oil and place on a wire rack over a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batches of fish.

Serve the lingcod, french fries, and coleslaw with plenty of ketchup, tartar sauce, and malt vinegar - and don’t forget the lemon wedge!
