Since fish cheeks are the best part of the fish, and halibut's flavor is so light, you hardly have to do anything to make it taste good. In this recipe, a quick poach in a soy sauce-based mixture is all it takes to whip up a quick dish.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mirin
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 10 tablespoons water
- 1 pound halibut cheeks
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
DIRECTIONS
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Mix the soy sauce, mirin, lemon juice, and water together. Adjust to taste. Then place in a saucepot and bring to a boil.
Quickly blanch the halibut cheeks in the hot water (30 seconds). Then place in the boiling soy sauce mixture, cover with a clean paper towel (to soak in and spread the sauce), and simmer for 4-5 minutes, until translucent in the middle.
Remove the cheeks and top with the slices of scallion.
