Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup panko
  • 1/2 cup raw pistachios
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • 4 halibut fillets
  • 2 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 3/4 cup full‑fat coconut milk
  • 0.33 cup olive oil
  • 1 small shallot
  • 1 large lime
  • 2 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 400°F (392°F).
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, combine the panko, crushed pistachios, 2 Tbsp honey, 3 Tbsp olive oil, chopped parsley, ½ tsp kosher salt, and black pepper; mix until evenly coated. Set the pistachio‑panko mixture aside.
  3. 3
    Pat the halibut fillets dry, then brush each with a thin layer of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. 4
    Place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the pistachio‑panko mixture onto the top of each fillet, using several tablespoons per piece to create a generous crust.
  5. 5
    Bake the crusted halibut in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
  6. 6
    While the fish bakes, prepare the corn‑basil dressing: add the corn kernels, deseeded jalapeño, fresh basil leaves, and ⅓ cup water to a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth.
  7. 7
    Strain the blended corn mixture through a cheesecloth or fine‑mesh sieve into a clean bowl, discarding the solids. Rinse the blender briefly.
  8. 8
    Return the strained corn puree to the blender and add the coconut milk, ⅓ cup olive oil, the small shallot, lime juice, 2 Tbsp honey, and 1 tsp kosher salt. Blend again until the dressing is silky and homogeneous.
  9. 9
    Transfer the finished dressing to a large serving bowl and gently lay the baked halibut fillets into the sauce, allowing them to soak for a minute before serving.
  10. 10
    Serve the pistachio‑crusted halibut hot, spooning extra dressing over each portion as desired.
