Vegetables that are best served crisp-tender are a great accompaniment to a slow-roasted fish because they will come out perfectly cooked at the same time.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Seafood Main Dish Recipes     Halibut

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ cup clamshell mushrooms, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 (7 ounce) halibut fillets
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¼ cup water

1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in heavy skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts and begins to foam. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt; saute in hot butter and oil golden brown, about 5 minutes. Push mushroom to the edges to clear a space in the center of the skillet.

ROASTED HALIBUT OVER BRAISED POTATOES, TOMATOES AND OLIVES



Roasted Halibut over Braised Potatoes, Tomatoes and Olives image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 Yukon gold potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
1 tablespoon capers, drained
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
Four 6-ounce center cut halibut fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then line the bottom with the potato rounds. Season with salt and pepper, add enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Once the potatoes are softened, drain off the excess water so there is only a small amount left on the bottom. Scatter the lemons, shallots, tomatoes, wine, olives, capers and thyme over the potatoes. Dot with the butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and put on top of the potatoes.
  • Make a parchment lid for the skillet by cutting a piece of parchment paper that's larger than your skillet. Fold it in half, then fold it in half again in the other direction so you have creases on 2 sides of the paper. Starting with the folded tip, fold on the diagonal 3 times, like a fan, to form narrow triangles. Measure how large your parchment lid should be by placing the tip of the triangle above the center of the skillet and cutting it where it hits the edge of the skillet. Cut off the folded tip to make a small hole in the center. Open up the parchment and set aside.
  • Open the parchment lid and place it over the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft and the halibut is fully cooked and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the parchment lid. Serve, drizzled with some of the sauce from the skillet and some oil, then sprinkle with the parsley.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH LEMONS, OLIVES AND ROSEMARY



Roasted Halibut With Lemons, Olives and Rosemary image

Fish can be finicky dinner-party fare, especially for the distracted cook. Step away for a moment to sip your cocktail and your fillets might go from pearly to parched. This dish, though, inspired by one from Southern Italy, elegantly feeds a crowd. The fish, halibut, is seasoned with chile, salt and olive oil, then topped with rosemary, lemon and olives and roasted. It's a lighter main dish that won't leave anyone hungry.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8-ounce) halibut fillets, preferably at least 1-inch thick
1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, more to taste
Kosher salt
Ground chile pepper, preferably Turkish or Aleppo
2 rosemary branches
1 small lemon, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced, pitted calamata or other good-quality black olives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place fish in a baking dish, brush fillets with 1 teaspoon of oil and season with salt and chile pepper. Top each fillet with a rosemary branch and several slices of lemon. Drizzle remaining oil over lemon slices and sprinkle with additional salt. Scatter olives over fish and pan.
  • Bake until just opaque, about 10 minutes. If lemon slices have not browned or singed (this will depend on how thinly you slice them), place pan under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with more olive oil; sprinkle with more salt and chili, if desired.

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.

Provided by Kay Chun

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.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or sauté pan for even cooking and to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Pat the halibut fillets dry before cooking to ensure a crispy skin.
  • Season the halibut fillets generously with salt and pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Use a combination of butter and olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
  • Cook the halibut fillets over medium heat, basting them frequently with the melted butter and olive oil mixture.
  • Add the asparagus and olives to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking to ensure that they are tender-crisp.
  • Serve the halibut fillets immediately with the roasted asparagus and olives.

Conclusion:

This butter-roasted halibut with asparagus and olives is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The halibut is cooked to perfection, and the asparagus and olives add a pop of flavor and color. This dish is sure to impress your family and friends.
