Ingredients
Blackening Seasoning:
- 2 teaspoon light brown sugar (optional)
- 2 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Halibut:
- 8 ounces halibut (~2 fillets)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided Or another high smoke-point oil
Spicy Yogurt Sauce:
- ½ cup plain yogurt (whole milk)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon capers brine (from the capers jar)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- dash of your favorite hot sauce (to taste) I use Sriracha
Instructions
Prepare + Cook Halibut:
- Mix together all of the blackening seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.Extra Seasoning Note: You will probably use about half the blackening seasoning. Reserve the remaining seasoning for another use.
- Brush an oven-safe pan with half the oil (1 tablespoon). Alternatively, use a sheet pan.Add the halibut to the pan, and generously season the top of the fish with the blackening spices. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil on the fish, and use your fingers to rub the oil into the seasoning.
- Move an oven rack to about 4" away from the broiler. Preheat broiler to high.Slide the pan into the oven.Cook halibut for 8 minutes per 1" thickness, or until the fish is tender and easily flakes apart with a fork.Do not flip the fish halfway through cooking.
- While the fish broils, combine the ingredients for the yogurt sauce. Put sauce in the refrigerator until it's time to serve.Serve the halibut right away along with the sauce.
Notes
- Yogurt sauce variation: I sometimes make the sauce with simply yogurt and hot sauce. It's a spicier (but easier!) version of the sauce.
