Spicy Blue Cheese Alaska Halibut

Serves: 4


	Ingredients 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp granulated white sugar 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp peanut or grapeseed oil 4 frozen Alaska halibut steaks or fillets (6 oz each) 1/4 cup chopped parsley OR 2 teaspoons dried parsley 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

Method
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, sugar, pepper, and walnuts. Cook and stir until nuts begin to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in garlic, then lemon juice.

Rinse any ice glaze from the Alaska halibut under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. With pastry brush, lightly coat cooking surfaces of halibut with oil. Set oven to broil, with rack 4 to 5 inches from heating element. Line a shallow baking sheet or dish with aluminum foil. Place halibut on lined sheet/dish and broil 7 to 9 minute (turning halibut over after 5 minutes). Remove from heat when just done, and center flakes with a knife. Do not overcook.

Mix parsley and blue cheese with nuts; distribute evenly over halibut. Broil another 1 to 2 minutes, until blue cheese is melted.
