Steamed Halibut Infused with Gone Fishing Rub
Serves 4

GONE FISHING SEAFOOD RUB
Not just for fish. Also ideal for pork, chicken and stews. Gone Fishing Seafood Rub celebrates all that’s simple with fish. Following in Yucatan tradition, Gone Fishing Seafood Rub bursts with colour and flavours of coriander, cumin, garlic, chilies and turmeric. These flavours also lend themselves beautifully to other meats such as pork, beef or chicken. The fundamental difference when cooking with fish is that with its subtle flavours and texture, it requires simpler and more unpretentious preparation. Mix equal parts: spice rub, olive oil and citrus juice and/or wine and marinate fish for no more than 1 hour, any longer may “cook” the fish.

Quick Ginger Tip
Wash and dry and store your ginger in the freezer.
When you require some ginger take it from the freezer and grate it on a Microplane Fine grater while still frozen. Fibrous Ginger grates easier from frozen and most of the outer skins stay above the grater and out of your food!
