Asian/Pacific Island Dinner


We've got a sweet and salty dinner here!

Pistachio-crusted Halibut topped with a familiar pineapple salsa
Soy-sauce sauteed orange and green bell pepper, bok choy, and sprouts
Coconut white rice

To prepare fish:
Crush approx 1/2 cup pistachios (or put in coffee grinder/blender on pulse for a few seconds, but not so long the pistachios become powdery.. I like bigger chunks)
mix pistachio with flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, cayenne pepper and put on plate
using tongs, cover fish with dusting
sautee in olive oil until crisp on each side, then bake @450 degrees for 6-8 minutes

To prepare rice:
place 2 cups rice, 1 can coconut milk (14.5 oz i think) and salt in pot, cooking covered untiil milk is absorbed (35-40 minutes)
turn off burner, allow to rest for 5 minutes
fluff with fork
optional: top with shaved coconut (if you don't mind the texture it adds a little more flavor)
