Sake Kasu Halibut
Wilderness Lodge Resort

Serves: 6

Sake Kasu Halibut is served with roasted red potatoes and sautéed seasonal vegetables, homemade bread, apple butter and smoked salmon paté.

Ingredients:
4 to 6 8-oz. fresh Alaskan halibut filets
2 cups sake (Japanese rice wine)
4 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
8 whole chives
1 cup soy glaze (recipe below)

Directions

Rinse halibut filets and place in a small container.

Blend the sake, brown sugar and kosher salt together. Pour over the filets so the marinade covers them completely. Let marinate 12 hours.

Remove filets from marinade and grill over a charcoal grill until the fish is firm to the touch. Just before serving, brush with soy glaze. Garnish with 2 whole chives laid across the fish.

Soy Glaze
1/2 cup apple juice
1/2 cup light soy sauce
1/2 tbsp. cornstarch

Mix apple juice and soy sauce. Stir in cornstarch. Bring to a low simmer until the glaze has slightly thickened and the starchy taste is gone.
