Tropical Party in Your Mouth!
Posted by Natul Middlebrook on
I was so excited when I found this fine blend of Himalayan salt and SCORE!!! It’s Fair Trade, too! I’ve always used Himalayan Salt as a finishing salt for steaks and seafood but was happy that this blend was fine enough to be used as a substitute for my go-to Kosher salt.
I really wanted to highlight the simple beauty of this special salt and thought that the tender texture and mild flavor of Halibut would be the perfect vehicle for my featured Fair Trade ingredient!
In an effort to offer you sustainable options, I picked up a beautiful filet of Halibut from my local Whole Foods fish monger. I know you may be thinking that fish from Whole Foods must be expensive. You are right. I paid about $21 per pound, but I asked the Fish Monger if there were days that they offered specials and guess what!? Our local Whole Foods in The Woodlands release specials on Wednesdays. I’m not sure if this applies to all Whole Foods but it’s worth calling your local store to ask if they offer specials on certain days. Another way to justify the price is that you would spend at least twice this amount if you were to order Halibut at a restaurant. You are paying for a high-quality, sustainable fish that you are going to ENJOY cooking. Trust me--you are going to have fun with this recipe!
