Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 halibut fillets (6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup quinoa
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 inches), peeled and finely chopped
1 baby bok choy (6 ounces), thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup snow peas, strings removed, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup brewed green tea
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey
3 scallions, sliced on the diagonal
Basil leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season halibut with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups salted water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook fillets until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove fillets from pan (reserve pan with any oil in it). Place fish in an ovenproof dish and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until just cooked through (a paring knife will easily go through fish).
  • To pan, add ginger, bok choy, edamame, shiitakes, and snow peas; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until the shiitakes begin to soften. Add green tea, soy sauce, and honey. Cook until edamame are tender, about 3 minutes longer. Add scallions to pan. Place some broth and vegetables in each of 4 shallow bowls. Top with fish fillet and garnish with basil leaves.
  • Season quinoa with salt, if necessary, and serve on the side in separate serving bowls.

Provided by Tom Kerridge

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 x 170g portions of skinless, boneless halibut fillets
100ml white wine
1 rosemary sprig
1 banana shallot , sliced
300ml chicken stock
500g ripe tomatoes
300g mixed tomatoes , cut into different shapes and sizes
50ml rapeseed oil
2 garlic cloves , thinly sliced
2 spring onions , thinly sliced
50g pre-blanched and podded broad beans (100g pre-podded weight)

Steps:

  • Make the tomato broth the day before. Put the tomatoes and 1/ 2 tbsp flaky salt in a food processor and blitz to a pulp. Pour into a colander lined with a muslin cloth set over a bowl to catch the juices. Fold the cloth over the pulp and put a weight on top to help squeeze out the juices. Put in the fridge overnight to strain. Take the broth out of the fridge 1 hr before serving to bring to room temperature.
  • The next day, toss the mixed tomatoes in a roasting tin with 1/ 2 tbsp flaky salt, the oil and garlic, then spread them out and leave for 1 hr.
  • Next, put the wine, rosemary, shallot, stock and a good pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, drop in the fish and reduce the heat so the liquid is just bubbling. Gently poach for 8-10 mins, then remove. Freeze the poaching liquor and use as a stock at a later date.
  • Spoon the mixed tomatoes with their oil and garlic, the spring onions and broad beans into two serving bowls. Top with the cooked fish, then pour over the tomato broth.

GREEN TEA POACHED HALIBUT



GREEN TEA POACHED HALIBUT image

Categories     Sauce     Fish     Poach     Quick & Easy     Low Sodium

Yield 4 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1 cup white wine
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 teabags of green tea
2 portabella mushroom tops, gills removed and thinly sliced
4 six-ounce halibut fillets

Steps:

  • Combine the broth, water, wine, lemon zest, and juice in a sauce pan just large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. Bring the mixture to a light boil, add tea bags, and mushrooms; reduce heat to a simmer for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags and add fillets. Simmer for 10 minutes until fish is tender and flakes. Place cooked fillets in a shallow serving bowl with some of the poaching fluid topped with mushrooms. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • To ensure the halibut fillets cook evenly, they should be of a uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets to an even thickness.
  • Make sure to pat the halibut fillets dry before poaching them. This will help to prevent the fish from becoming waterlogged.
  • Use a large enough pan to poach the halibut fillets. The fillets should be able to lie flat in the pan without overcrowding.
  • Bring the poaching liquid to a simmer before adding the halibut fillets. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking.
  • Once the halibut fillets are added to the poaching liquid, reduce the heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer. Do not boil the poaching liquid, as this will toughen the fish.
  • The halibut fillets are done poaching when they are opaque throughout and flake easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the fish should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the poached halibut fillets immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Green tea poached halibut is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a light and flavorful meal. The delicate flavor of the halibut is perfectly complemented by the subtle bitterness of the green tea. This dish is also very easy to prepare, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
