Halibut with Thai Spicy Mango Salad - Thai Cooking Recipe Video

Directions MAKING 1. Take watermelon slices and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on both sides. Place it on a grill on high heat and grill them until the slices have grill marks. When the watermelon is done, cut into cubes and set aside.

Peel the green mango and julienne it by making parallel cuts into the fruit with a knife and shave the strips off into a large mixing bowl.

In a mortar and pestle, pound the Thai chilies to release the oils and fragrance.

Add these chilies to the mango, then add the fish sauce. Toss lightly to combine and then add the sugar, shallot, cilantro and green onion.

Finally, add the juice of 1 lime and watermelon and toss everything together until combined. Set aside in the refrigerator.

For the halibut: On a cutting board, evenly sprinkle chopped chilies, drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt and then place the halibut on the board. Flip the halibut over to get the seasoning on both sides.

The halibut can either be grilled in the oven or pan fried on a hot skillet with oil until the meat is golden brown.

SERVING 8. Plate the fish, put the mango salad over it and serve.

NOTE If you do not have halibut, you can use any kind of meaty fish that’s not too fatty like catfish or red snapper.
