Directions
Preheat nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron grill pan over medium high heat.
Drizzle halibut pieces with oil, then season with crab boil seasoning, salt and pepper. Grill on a hot pan 4 or 5 minutes on each side.
Place melted butter in a small dish and add juice of 1/2 lemon.
Combine all ingredients for the tartar sauce in a small bowl.
Lightly toast buns on grill pan after fish is removed.
To assemble, brush bun bottoms and fish with lemon butter. Top fish with tomato and lettuce and slather the bun tops with tartar sauce, then serve.
Serve with Asparagus salad and fancy chips.
Heat shallot and oil in microwave safe covered dish for 30 seconds or in a small pan on the stovetop over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Allow oil to cool back to room temperature.
Hold a spear of asparagus at each end and snap it. The spear breaks where the tender tops meet the tough bottoms. Line the broken spear up with the bundle of cleaned asparagus.
Cut the spears using the guideline of the snapped spear. Par boil the asparagus tops in 1 inch simmering water covered for 3 to 5 minutes. Cool under cold running water and drain.
Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces on an angle and add to a bowl.
Combine chopped, cooked asparagus with shredded endive, red bell pepper, cooked pasta, green peas and chopped parsley. The peas will defrost as you toss salad.
Pour vinegar into a small bowl and whisk in cooled shallot oil.
Pour dressing over salad and toss. Season salad with salt and pepper, to your taste and toss again.
