AuthorHeather WallaceCategoryfrOm the OceanDifficultyBeginnerWhenever I go to Alaska to visit my family I always try to make a stop at the Sourdough Mining Company to get their broiled halibut steaks... hold on...I have to go wipe the drool off my chin just from thinking about it...
The way they broil and season the halibut steaks is perfect, and to call them steaks is no lie. They are thick and meaty like any beef steak but so much better for you. I would take broiled halibut any day over fried fish & chips.
They also have these amazing corn fritters that taste of honey with large sweet bursting corn throughout each bite- they are the best I've had anywhere. If you are ever in Anchorage make a stop at the Sourdough Mining Company and order some. You won't be disappointed!
This is my take on their broiled halibut steaks that literally take 6 minutes to cook.
Drizzle 3 halibut steaks with olive oil and sprinkle both sides with 1 tablespoon of Ancho chili powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Place empty cookie sheet in oven and heat broiler on high for 10 Minutes. This will get the pan very hot so the fish cooks from both sides.
Place halibut steaks on the hot cookie sheet and broil for 6 Minutes.
Take a butter knife and insert vertically into the thickest part of the fish for 5 seconds and remove.
Carefully and quickly tap the flat side of the knife to your lip to test the temperature.
If the knife is warm it is ready to serve, if still cold you will need to cook a minute more.
Remove halibut from pan and serve with side of choice.
