Sear roasted halibut recipe

Ingredients

• ½ orange, juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
• 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
• ½ lemon, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 350 g halibut or Atlantic Salmon, skinned, deboned, and cut into two portions
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Combine the orange juice, coconut aminos, lemon juice, ginger and half of the salt in a small bowl; stir to combine. Place the coconut flour on a plate and set aside.
3. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with the remaining sea salt and dredge in the coconut flour, using your fingers to create a thin, even coating around all sides of the fish.
4. Heat the coconut oil in an ovenproof frying pan on high heat. When it is very hot, add the halibut and sear for 2 minutes, or until browned on the bottom. Flip the fish and place the frying pan immediately in the oven. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish is cooked when it is no longer translucent.
5. Serve with the citrus–coconut amino sauce and garnish with the chopped chives.
