"At Highland's Garden Cafe in Denver, Colorado, I had an unusual and delicious lunch entrée of fish with sambal vinaigrette and wasabi cream," says William Starret, Jr. of Washington, D.C. "I would greatly appreciate it if you could get the recipe for me."

2 teaspoons wasabi (green horseradish) powder
3 tablespoons water
1/4 cup sour cream

1 (2-lb) halibut steak (1 1/2 inches thick), skinned, boned, and cut into 4 pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
Accompaniment: pickled ginger
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Make vinaigrette:
Blend vinaigrette ingredients in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.
Make cream:

Make halibut:
Pat fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1 side of each piece with parsley.
Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over high heat until hot. Add oil, then fish, parsleyed sides up. Sear fish until undersides are browned, about 1 minute.
