Coconut Crusted Halibut with Mango Glaze

There used to be a restaurant in Amarillo, TX call Zen 721. They had amazing Asian Fusion food and a great atmosphere. Every time I went to visit Amarillo, I made my friends go there, unfortunately it is now closed. The last time I went, I was able to get the chef to share is recipe with me. If finally tired it the other night and it was just as good.

Ingredients:

Fish:

Halibut Steak

Coconut Flakes (enough to coat the fish)

Coconut Milk (enough to coat the fish)

2 tsp Olive Oil

Glaze:

6 tbl Mango Jam

2 tbl Rice Vinegar

½ tsp Cinnamon

¼ tsp ground cloves

¼ tsp ginger

1 tbl coconut milk

Halibut:

Place the coconut flakes on one plate. Place the coconut milk on a separate plate. Dredge the fish on both sides in the coconut flakes. Place the fish onto a plate and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.

In a 12-inch skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the halibut fillets and cook until golden brown and fish flakes easily, about 3 minutes on each side.

Glaze:

In a small saucepan combine all the ingredients and stir over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Plate the halibut and drizzle with glaze.
