Cornflake-Crusted Halibut with Chile-Cilantro Aioli


Hmmm...I never had halibut before. It really doesn't taste like anything, but is expensive. So that is my first knock. I just bought corn-flake crumbs and D used those. The crust and the Aioli were very good. Just the halibut part was eh. I would rather have red snapper.

We didn't use the lemon wedges.
Ate with Cauliflower and a side of basmati rice.

Aioli:

2 cups cornflakes, finely crushed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
Lemon wedges

To prepare aioli, combine first 4 ingredients, stirring well.
To prepare fish, combine milk and egg white in a shallow dish, stirring well with a whisk. Combine cornflakes, flour, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
