HALIBUT WITH A PINE NUT CRUST

Recipe barely adapted from and with thanks to Kayln's Kitchen

Provided by Mary Younkin

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 white fish filets (about 6 ounces each)
6 tablespoons pine nuts (finely chopped)
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
2 large garlic cloves (minced)
2 teaspoons pesto (I've used both parsley and basil pestos)
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Let the fish fillets warm on the counter for at least half an hour prior to cooking them. You want them to be almost room temperature before placing them in the oven, this will help them cook through before the topping is too brown.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the fish in a large shallow baking pan. Mix together the pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, pesto and mayonnaise. Divide this mixture in half and then use a rubber scraper to spread the crust mixture over the top surface of each fillet. Pile it on so that all of the topping is used.
  • Bake the fish 10-20 minutes, until the fish is firm to the touch and the crust begins to very lightly brown. The thickness of your fish will determine the cooking time. Serve hot with lemon wedges. Enjoy!

This fish will just melt in your mouth! I like to serve over a quinoa-kale salad. Also, please don't use regular bread crumbs as they are too dense.

HALIBUT WITH PINE NUT AND PARMESAN CRUST



Halibut With Pine Nut and Parmesan Crust image

This recipe was printed in our local paper. I tried it last night and had to share it! Halibut caught on longlines from certain regions may be sustainable according to seachoice.org, however, a better choice such as land farmed rainbow trout or Alaskan pollock would probably also be tasty!

1/2 cup crushed pine nuts
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Place the fish filets on a baking tray (I used aluminum pie pans) skin side down. Salt the upper portions to your taste.

Categories     Fish     Bake     Quick & Easy     Healthy

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

PESTO CRUST (I made it in the food processor and mixed the cheese in at the end by hand)
½ cup (120ml) pine nuts, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh basil, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
4 6oz (170g) Halibut fillets (enough for 4 people)
Sea salt
Pepper
Lemon Slices

Steps:

  • 1. Salt and pepper both sides of the Halibut fillets. Lay on lightly oiled baking sheet. 2. Spread the Halibut fillets with the above pesto crust. Pat the pesto crust & press lightly to make it ahere. 3. If prepared an hour or so before baking - cover lightly with foil and refrigerate. Remove 15 min or so before baking to bring to room temp. BAKE: Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Bake in middle of oven for 10-15 minutes until fish is opaque all the way through and the pesto is lightly browned. (I left the foil on for approx. 10 min - then removed it for the balance of the baking time - then I turned the oven off And put the foil back on for approx. 5 min. and left it in the turned off oven My piece of fish was about ¾" thick sp you need to judge the baking time).

Tips:

  • To ensure your halibut cooks evenly, use a sharp knife to score the fish lightly before baking.
  • For a crispy crust, make sure the pine nuts and Parmesan cheese are finely chopped.
  • If you don't have bread crumbs, you can substitute crushed crackers or even crushed potato chips.
  • For a more flavorful crust, add some dried herbs or spices to the bread crumb mixture.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If you're cooking multiple pieces of halibut, make sure there's enough space between them so they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the halibut immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Halibut with Pine Nut Parmesan Crust is a delicious and elegant dish that's perfect for a special occasion. The crispy crust and flaky fish are sure to impress your guests. Plus, it's a relatively easy dish to make, so you can focus on enjoying your time with friends and family.
