Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 1 cup Sake
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 inch piece, thinly sliced Ginger
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 medium, thinly sliced into rounds Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Fresh dill
- 1 whole (cut into wedges for serving) Lemon
- 1 teaspoon (to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, combine the sake, soy sauce, sliced ginger, and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
Step 3
Place the halibut fillets in a single layer in the skillet. Cover tightly with the lid and reduce the heat to low. Steam the halibut for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4
While the halibut is steaming, prepare the dilled carrots. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced carrots and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 5
Stir in the chopped dill and season the carrots with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Step 6
Once the halibut is fully cooked, carefully remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer to serving plates. Discard the ginger slices from the steaming liquid.
Step 7
Serve the halibut alongside the dilled carrots. Garnish each plate with a lemon wedge for squeezing over the fish just before eating.
Step 8
Enjoy your Sake Steamed Halibut with Dilled Carrots!
