  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

Coconut Rice:

  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice
  • 1 cup Coconut milk the type from a can
  • 1 cup Water
  • Salt to taste

Halibut:

  • cup Cashew flour
  • ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 12-16 oz Fresh Halibut
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Mayonnaise

Mango Salsa:

  • 1 Mango peeled and chopped
  • ½ Red bell pepper chopped
  • ¼ cup Red Onion Chopped
  • 1 Avocado Peeled and Chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Finely Chopped Cilantro
  • 1 Lime
  • Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F, Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

Coconut Rice:

  • Measure rice into a wire strainer, rinse well.
  • Add rice, coconut milk, and water to a rice cooker. Cook rice according to manufacturer’s directions.
  • Once the rice is in the cooker, start preparing your Halibut:

Halibut:

  • Mix together cashew flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt. Set aside.
  • If Halibut is in one piece, cut into 2 steaks. Ideally you’ll want them to be 1" or more in thickness.
  • Pat halibut pieces dry with some paper towel, season salt and pepper.
  • Brush all sides of halibut pieces lightly with mayo, then roll in cashew mixture.
  • Place crusted halibut on prepared baking pan.
  • Place halibut in the oven, set the timer for 15 minutes (18 minutes if the fish is more than 1.5" thick). Once the fish is done cooking, it’ll flake easily.
  • Once the halibut is in the oven, start making the salsa:

Mango Salsa:

  • Place mango, red pepper, onion, avocado pieces, and cilantro into a medium bowl.
  • Zest and juice the lime into the bowl, gently toss to coat everything.
  • Season with salt, to taste.

Serving:

  • Once rice is fully cooked, fluff with a fork. Season with salt, to taste.
  • Divide rice among serving dishes, place a halibut steak on top, top with mango salsa.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Note: Nutritional info is calculated based on ALL ingredients, but you won't use all of the cashew flour mix, and will likely have leftover salsa as well.
