Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 (6 ounce) halibut fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 sprigs cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons butter
4 green onions, finely chopped
¼ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup half-and-half cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
  • Rub the halibut fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish, then press the cilantro leaves onto the top of the halibut. Bake the halibut in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine, and season with dill and tarragon. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the chicken broth, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then dissolve the flour into the water, and stir into the boiling sauce. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the halibut to serve.

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound red potatoes, cut into chunks
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup hazelnuts
¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 halibut fillets
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
5 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons vegetable broth

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes into a large pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. While the potatoes are boiling, mash the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a smooth paste. Drain potatoes, then mash together with the garlic paste, butter, and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • While the potatoes are cooking, Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Pulse the hazelnuts and bread crumbs in a food processor until finely ground, but not ground into a paste. Pour onto a shallow dish. Season the halibut fillets on both sides with 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gently press one side of the halibut fillets into the nut mixture, and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Place the halibut fillets nut-side-up into the skillet; cook until the halibut begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the fillets over, and place into the preheated oven.

SLOW-COOKED HALIBUT WITH GARLIC CREAM AND FENNEL



Slow-Cooked Halibut with Garlic Cream and Fennel image

Cod and pollock are both great alternatives for the halibut.

Provided by Andy Baraghani

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Fish     Halibut     Garlic     Milk/Cream     Lemon     Fennel     Seafood

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 small fennel bulbs, fronds reserved, bulbs cut into 1/2"-thick wedges
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 cups heavy cream
1 Tbsp. plus 3 tsp. kosher salt, divided; plus more
1 1/2 lb. skin-on halibut fillet, patted dry
1 small lemon
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Place fennel in a large saucepan wide enough to fit fish comfortably. Add garlic, cream, and 1 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. salt. Place over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until fennel is just tender, 12-15 minutes (do not let cream come to a boil). Remove from heat.
  • Season fish with remaining 1 tsp. salt. Using tongs, carefully slip fish into pan (it should be mostly covered). Transfer to oven and cook fish, uncovered, until flesh easily flakes with a fork, 18-22 minutes.
  • While the fish is cooking, finely chop reserved fennel fronds and place in a small bowl (you should have about 1/2 cup). Cut ends off lemon; discard. Place lemon upright on one end and cut lemon into four lobes, working around the center as you would an apple and leaving core and seeds behind. Finely chop lobes (peel and all) and transfer to bowl with fennel fronds. (You should have about 1/3 cup.) Squeeze juice from core over fennel fronds; discard core. Drizzle in oil and toss mixture to combine. Season fennel oil with salt and lots of pepper.
  • Break fish into large pieces and divide among shallow bowls. Divide garlic and fennel among bowls and ladle some garlic cream on top; spoon fennel oil over.

Tips:

  • Choose the right halibut. Look for firm, white fillets with no brown spots or discoloration. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a slimy texture.
  • Prepare the halibut properly. Rinse the fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If the fillets are thick, you can score them with a sharp knife to help them cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The garlic sauce in this recipe is a great option, but you can also use other sauces, such as lemon-butter sauce, white wine sauce, or pesto.
  • Cook the halibut carefully. Halibut is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully to avoid overcooking. Cook the fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
  • Serve the halibut immediately. Halibut is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish the fillets with chopped parsley, lemon wedges, or capers.

Conclusion:

Halibut with garlic sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The halibut is cooked to perfection and the garlic sauce is flavorful and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
