Lumpy Yogurt Sauce
... on woody frozen Halibut steaks...
What Was I thinking?
Forgot to eat lunch... (How does a fat chick forget to eat lunch?) so it was important that food happen quickly. squant had previously thawed some frozen TJ halibut steaks, so I went to town on them.
While ~2 tablespoons of butter stuff melt on high heat in frying pan, squeeze some lemon juice, then grind some black pepper on each side of the halibut steaks. Pop em in the pan when it's smokin' hot, set timer for 7 minutes. Squeeze garlic out of the garlic press onto the uncooked side.
At 3 minutes in, decide you overestimated the cooking time and wait until 3:30, then flip the fish.
When timer goes off, put the fish on plates. Turn off flame, wait a minute for frying pan to chill out. Re-light burner, this time on low. Put one more tablespoon of butter in it, then 1/3 cup plain creamline yogurt. Mix. Add some dill, a lot of garlic powder, and some lemon pepper. Stir until sauce is lumpily consistent. (About 2 minutes).
Pour fancily (or sassily) over the fish. Plate the delicious salad squant made, serve with a saucy white wine, even though white wine always gets you too drunk. (Get saucy!)
The Verdict
"I liked the crunchy bits of the fish and the sauce was also tasty."
