INGREDIENTS

For the Marinade:

• 1 pound Halibut Steak
• 2/3 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
• 1/2 cup Mirin (Japanese Cooking Wine)
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 2 cups Lime Juice
• 1/4 cup Orange Juice
• 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon Ginger Powder
• 1 Clove Garlic, smashed

INSTRUCTIONS:

Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze/Marinade:

1. In a saucepan, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, mirin, sugar, lime juice, orange juice, crushed red pepper flakes, ginger powder, and the smashed clove of garlic.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until it thickens and reduces by half.
3. Once the glaze/marinade has cooled, pour half of it into a resealable jar.

Marinate the Halibut:

1. Place the halibut steak in a resealable bag or container.
2. Pour half of the teriyaki glaze/marinade over the halibut, ensuring it’s well coated.
3. Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Preheat the Air Fryer:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (199°C).

Air Fry the Marinated Halibut:

1. Remove the marinated halibut from the refrigerator.
2. Place the marinated halibut in the air fryer basket.
3. Cook for 9-11 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and has a golden glaze.

Glaze and Serve:

1. Once done, brush a little of the residual glaze over the cooked halibut steak.
2. Serve the glazed halibut steak over a bed of white rice, accompanied by basil/mint chutney for a refreshing contrast of flavors.

TIPS:

• Halibut Selection: When choosing halibut, look for fresh, firm fillets with a mild, sweet aroma. Ensure that the fish is free from any off-putting odors or discoloration.
• Marinade Infusion: Allowing the halibut to marinate in the teriyaki glaze imparts deep flavors. The longer you marinate, the more intense the flavor will be.
• Residual Glaze: Brushing a little of the residual glaze over the cooked halibut after air frying adds a final burst of flavor and a beautiful glaze to the dish.
• Serving with Chutney: Serving the halibut over a bed of basil/mint chutney and white rice not only enhances the flavor but also adds a refreshing element to the dish.

This Teriyaki Glazed Halibut Steak recipe is a culinary delight that balances the richness of halibut with the sweetness of teriyaki glaze and the freshness of herbs and chutney. Impress your family or guests with this exquisite dish that’s easy to prepare yet offers restaurant-quality taste. Enjoy!
