HALIBUT FILLETS WITH CREAMY SAFFRON SAUCE



Halibut Fillets With Creamy Saffron Sauce image

If your experience with saffron is that it fades into the background, you have not been cooking with real saffron. There is no easier way to remedy this than to stir it into an uncooked, yogurt-based sauce in which it plays a leading role. (A touch of mild Aleppo pepper is a fine addition, but a pinch of cayenne - just enough to give a suspicion of its presence - also does nicely.) I like this concoction, which takes just a couple of minutes to prepare, with halibut or other mild fish. The halibut can be lightly poached in butter (you don't need much!) or, if you prefer, steamed or baked with no fat, until just tender.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup yogurt, preferably full-fat
Salt and pepper
Large pinch Aleppo pepper or small pinch cayenne
1 shallot, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
Juice of 1/2 lemon, or more to taste
2 pounds halibut fillet, in 2 or 4 pieces
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk yogurt together with salt, pepper, Aleppo pepper or cayenne, and shallot. Rub saffron between your fingers to crush it, then stir it into yogurt mixture. Let sit for about 20 minutes (or covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours). Just before serving, add juice, taste, and adjust seasoning.
  • Sprinkle halibut with salt and Aleppo pepper or cayenne. Put butter in nonstick skillet large enough to hold halibut, and turn heat to medium. When the butter melts, add fish, and cook gently, turning once or twice, until a thin bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into the thickest part, generally less than 10 minutes.
  • Serve fish hot, warm, or at room temperature, with the sauce spooned over it.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh halibut fillets. Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Season the halibut fillets generously. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Sear the halibut fillets in a hot skillet. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Reduce the heat and add the chipotle cream sauce. Simmer the fillets in the sauce for a few minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the halibut fillets immediately. They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh out of the skillet.

Conclusion:

This recipe is a delicious and easy way to cook halibut. The chipotle cream sauce is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with the mild, flaky fish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
