ROASTED HALIBUT WITH MUSSEL BUTTER SAUCE



Roasted Halibut With Mussel Butter Sauce image

This is a stunning seafood main course that needs only a side dish, such as braised fennel or orzo salad, and some crusty bread served alongside for a delicious dinner party. Halibut is a mild yet buttery and rich fish with firm, meaty flesh. Here, the fish is wrapped in seaweed, which imparts subtle sea flavor and keeps the fish tender and juicy while it roasts. Mussels are steamed open in a bath of clam juice and kelp broth, releasing their flavorful juices into the liquid, which becomes a silky sauce. Earthy saffron adds depth and beautiful color, and just enough butter and cream round out the sauce without making it too heavy. For a festive presentation, top the fish with vibrant salmon roe, which look like jewels and offer pops of brininess.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ounces dried kelp (dashima or kombu; see Tip)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 (2 1/2-pound) skinless halibut or cod fillet (1-inch thick; see Tip)
Kosher salt
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice
3 dozen mussels, cleaned (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon saffron, crumbled
2 small shallots, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon, plus small leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine kelp with 4 cups of cool water and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of the kelp water.
  • On a lightly greased rimmed sheet pan, arrange half of the softened kelp in the center, allowing excess water to drip off kelp and slightly overlapping the pieces. (Do not squeeze water out of the kelp). Rub halibut with 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt. Set halibut in the center of the kelp and lift kelp over the sides of the fish. It should stick to the fish. Top halibut with the remaining kelp, slightly overlapping, and tuck the kelp loosely underneath the fish to enclose it.
  • Roast halibut until just opaque in the center, about 15 minutes. A metal cake tester or skewer inserted in the center of the fish should feel warm to the touch. Transfer wrapped halibut to a serving platter.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot, combine clam juice and the reserved kelp water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add mussels, cover and cook until mussels open, 2 to 3 minutes; begin checking mussels at 2 minutes and transfer them to a bowl as they open (discard any that do not open). Tent with foil to keep warm. Pour mussel broth into a separate bowl, leaving behind any grit in the pot, and reserve the broth. Rinse out pot to remove any grit.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice with the saffron in a small bowl and mix well. In the rinsed pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved mussel broth (and any juice that has drained from the mussels) and saffron-lemon juice, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently to allow flavors to meld, about 5 minutes. Discard garlic.
  • While whisking constantly, add butter 1 tablespoon at a time, blending in each addition before adding the next. Then, whisk in heavy cream. Gently simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley and tarragon, and season with salt. You should have about 2 cups of sauce.
  • Remove the top layer of kelp to reveal halibut. You can serve the kelp to eat with the fish or discard it. Arrange mussels around halibut, removing the top shells for easier eating if you'd like. Spoon some sauce over the mussels and fish, and garnish with parsley and tarragon.
  • To serve, divide the fish and mussels among plates. Garnish with more parsley and tarragon. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

BROILED HALIBUT WITH BECHAMEL SAUCE RECIPE



Broiled Halibut with Bechamel Sauce Recipe image

Provided by Jlundquist

Number Of Ingredients 16

Bechamel Sauce:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup flour
2 cups whole milk, warmed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
Halibut:
1 (750 ml) bottle white wine, such as pinot grigio
2 cups water
4 (6-ounce) center-cut halibut fillets, about 1-inch thick (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Cook's Note: The halibut can be substituted with 24 ounces of sole fillets. Reduce the cooking time in the wine mixture to 3 to 4 minutes. Spray a 7 by 11-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside. For the bechamel sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. For the halibut: In a large saucepan, bring the wine and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the halibut. Cover the pan and cook until the flesh is opaque, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a fish spatula, carefully remove the fish and arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat a broiler. Spoon the bechamel sauce over the fish and top with the Parmesan. Dot with butter and broil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a fish spatula to gently turn the halibut fillets once during broiling.
  • For a crispy crust, broil the halibut fillets for the full 10-12 minutes. If you prefer a more tender texture, broil them for 8-10 minutes.
  • For a flavorful and moist halibut, brush the fillets with melted butter or olive oil before broiling.
  • To make a creamy and delicious béchamel sauce, use a whisk to constantly stir the milk and butter mixture until it thickens. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
  • To serve, top the broiled halibut fillets with the béchamel sauce and garnish with fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

This broiled halibut with béchamel sauce recipe is a simple and delicious way to enjoy this flaky white fish. The broiling process locks in the halibut's natural flavors, while the béchamel sauce adds a creamy and flavorful touch. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice, for a complete and satisfying meal.
