"Halibut cheeks are really delicious and super-easy to cook. Here they are pan-seared and served with a zingy orange sauce with Asian seasonings. Great with asparagus and jasmine rice for a light and tasty Spring dinner."

Ingredients:

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 (3 ounce) halibut cheeks

Directions:

1.	Whisk the orange juice, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl; set aside.
2.	Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the halibut cheeks until golden brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour the orange juice mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove halibut cheeks to a plate and drizzle with orange sauce to serve.
