Anna is firing up the grill for a steak, but this one is from the sea. In this episode of the Chef’s Pantry, she says skip the filet and go for a hearty halibut steak that’s made for the grill marks. She starts by wicking out extra moisture from the fish and then bathes it in avocado oil with a dusting of coriander powder. Her biggest tip for this recipe is clean grill grates and a half onion does the trick. She also makes an easy and flavor-forward scallion and lime-infused butter, but instead of a basting brush, try a long stem of fresh basil to give the fish a kiss of added flavor. To add some delicious color to the plate, she makes a curry stone fruit salad, starting the vinaigrette. Fresh lemon juice, a grassy evoo and the toasted exotic spice are mixed with a little scallion and jalapeno, for a kick, but a dollop of honey adds balance. A pinch of salt and pepper and it’s ready for a shake. Anna pours the dressing on top of fresh stone fruit made up of nectarines, peaches, plums, apricots and gives it a toss. She layers it on top of the grilled halibut for a show-stopping dish. Who wants a summer sip? Anna shares her recipe for a limoncello spritz that accompanies this meal beautifully.
