Halibut tibs recipe

Step 1

Toss the halibut in a large bowl with the Berbere Spice Blend and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Step 2

Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the ghee and olive oil. When hot, add the cubed halibut and sear, tossing occasionally, until well browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a plate. (The fish doesn’t have to be completely cooked through at this point; it will cook more in the sauce.)

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium high. In the same skillet, add the red onion and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned on the edges but still crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and chopped jalapeno and cook until sizzling, about 1 minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture is thick and saucy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the halibut back to the sauce, gently toss and simmer until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 4

Serve topped with the sliced jalapenos with injera and lemon wedges on the side.

Step 5

Combine the chile, paprika, cayenne, cardamom, coriander, cumin, ginger, mustard, onion powder, allspice, cinnamon, clove, garlic powder and nutmeg in a small skillet. Toast over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely.
