Posted: by Sandra
INGREDIENTS:
***Topping
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1-3/4 cups shredded green cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrots
***Prepare Halibut Strips
1 lb. fresh halibut fillets, cut into 2-1/2” strips (finger-size)
2 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning (or creole seasoning)
½ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 potato sandwich rolls split lengthwise, and lightly toasted
--(I do so in the toaster, although 5 to 7 mins. in
a 350-degree oven works as well)
METHOD
In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth. Add coleslaw mix; toss, and set aside.
In a shallow dish, coat the halibut with milk. In a large ziploc bag, combine flour, cornmeal, cajun seasoning, salt, and cayenne and mix thoroughly, and then add the halibut strips a few pieces at a time; zip bag closed and shake to coat.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat, and cook halibut for 3 to 4 minutes per side, just until fish flakes easily with a fork and coating is golden brown (do not overcook).
Spoon coleslaw onto bottom half of lightly toasted sandwich rolls, and top with halibut strips, and then add a bit more coleslaw mixture on top, topping with other half of roll.~ Enjoy!

Pan Roasted Halibut Cheeks with Warm Pancetta Vinaigrette
I was originally going to use scallops for this dish, but when I looked at the fish case at the market and saw fresh halibut cheeks, my menu changed quickly! If you can find halibut cheeks you HAVE to try them. If your market carries regular halibut fillet or steaks, ask the fish person to get you some cheeks. Frozen are fine and they can probably do a special order for you. These are actually sweet, succulent pockets of meat found in the cheeks of the fish. It looks, and also cooks, like a scallop. It is the kind of thing that the fish mongers take home to eat themselves while they laughing at us poor suckers stuck with the fillet!Warm pancetta vinaigrette is a wonderful sauce for this dish (as it is with almost any dish), and a little goes a long way. I served my cheeks on top of some bright yellow spaghetti squash with is a great, and healthy base for this recipe. Just the pancetta dressing on the squash would have been a winner. Check the site for a demo on how to prep the squash, as it is a very simple and delicious side dish.
