Seared Halibut and Spicy Veg Noodles

After a heavy Saturday night dinner at a restaurant in Bedfordshire (too dark for pics) we were ready for something lighter on Sunday. A quick trip to Waitrose yielded a beautiful piece of halibut fillet, which was simply prepared by dusting with a mix of plain flour, cayenne, celery salt, garlic salt and pepper, then quickly fried in a little butter.

The veg noodles were equally simple - some garlic, ginger and chilli in a wok, followed by broccoli, red pepper and shitake, a splash of soy and a squeeze of hoi sin, then a pack of fresh egg noodles, finished with a little sesame oil.

The result was delicious soft fish with a slightly spicy and crisp coating, and a savoury/spicy colourful noodle accompaniment, with both the noodles and the veg retaining some bite.

Best of all, the dish took less than 10 mins from fridge to plate!
