How to Make Kataifi-Wrapped Halibut

1. Preheat Oven and Prep Halibut

Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt.

2. Wrap Halibut in Kataifi

Cut the thawed kataifi dough into sections and wrap each halibut fillet, ensuring the dough is larger than the fish on all sides.

3. Bake the Fish

Drizzle olive oil in an oven-friendly skillet, place the kataifi-wrapped fillets seam side down, top each with a tablespoon of butter, and bake for 20 minutes at 400ºF. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness.

4. Make Almond Butter Sauce

Using the same skillet, add 4 tablespoons of butter and sliced almonds, cook until the butter foams. Add rinsed capers, chopped preserved lemon, and parsley to make the sauce.

5. Serve

Transfer the halibut to a serving platter, spoon the almond butter sauce over the fish, and serve with lemon wedges.
