Transform your dinner with this quick and flavorful Fast & Spicy Halibut recipe from Carmelita Seafood. This dish features tender halibut fillets seasoned with a spicy blend, then seared to perfection, making it a perfect choice for a speedy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

• 4 halibut fillets (from Carmelita Seafood)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sriracha or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Lemon wedges, for serving
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Halibut Fillets:

• Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps to ensure a good sear.

2. Make the Spicy Marinade:

• In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, soy sauce, sriracha, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

3. Marinate the Halibut:

• Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the halibut fillets. Let them marinate for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

4. Cook the Halibut:

• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halibut fillets to the pan.
• Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the halibut, as it can become dry.

5. Serve:

• Transfer the cooked halibut to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

• This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
• Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more or less sriracha to suit your taste.
