Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper; spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil until combined. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat a skillet over medium-high. Pat halibut dry and season with 1/4 tsp salt. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Pour glaze over fish and cook for 1 more minute, basting occasionally, until sauce thickens and coats fish.
