Coriander Crusted Halibut With Rice Noodles And Ginger Broth:
1/4 cup freshly ground coriander
Fleur de sel, to season
4 (6-ounce) pieces halibut fillet
Canola oil, to cook
1 1/2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 leeks, white part julienned

1 tablespoon minced cilantro leaves, save 4 whole sprigs for garnish
1 package (8-ounce) thin rice noodles, soaked in warm water for 20 minutes until soft

For the Coriander Crusted Halibut With Rice Noodles And Ginger Broth: Preheat an oven to 450 degrees. Place the coriander on a small plate.

Check for seasoning then add lime juice and cilantro. Right before serving, add the soft rice noodles. Bring to temperature then serve.
