Coconut Sauce1. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When it's hot add the onion and ginger and cook until golden, about 3-5 minutes.

Taste for seasoning and add salt as needed. Keep warm.
Halibut1. Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Season the halibut filets with cumin, coriander, salt and pepper and place them in the pan. Cook on one side for 4 minutes and then turn the heat down and continue to cook until they are done, 3-4 minutes. Keep warm.
Sauted Peas & Assembly1. Place a small skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. When it begins to foam add the mustard seeds and cook until they begin to pop, about 1 minute. Add the peas and saute until they are bright green and tender-crisp, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Ladle some sauce on each of 4 plates, place a halibut filet over it and garnish with sauteed peas.
