I am a huge fan of Alaskan butterfish—it’s the basis for one of my signature dishes at Blue Ginger. Here it is prepared with a coating of Curry Tea Rub—the curry and sweet tea give a wonderful exotic flavor to this mild fish and dried mangoes—a popular item in Indian kitchens— complement the fruity tea and the heat of the curry.
