Malaysian Barbecue-Glazed Halibut

D and I didn't like this...Shocking I know because it combines two things we can't stand together...fruit and protein. We know we don't like orange juice mixed in stuff but we keep trying. So this will not be had again.

Malaysian Barbecue-Glazed Halibut


These fillets simultaneously taste sweet, salty, and slightly spicy from the Asian-inspired sauce that's brushed on them. Serve with long-grain rice, such as basmati.


4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon chile paste with garlic (such as sambal oelek)
1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
Lemon wedges (optional)


1. Sprinkle fish fillets evenly with salt. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the pan with cooking spray. Add fish to pan; sauté 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

2. Combine lemon juice and the next 7 ingredients (through cornstarch) in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring well; bring to a boil. Cook 20 seconds, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Brush about 1 tablespoon sauce over each fillet. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
