ITALIAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH MELTED LEEKS



Italian Seared Halibut with Melted Leeks image

Melted leeks, I find, are one of those preparations that taste super indulgent without really being as such. Cooking down a mountain of leeks with some white wine, butter and herbs into a creamy side dish with just a bit of that beautiful spring onion flavor is like heaven in a skillet. Keeping things light, yet satisfying, I added some mushrooms to the mix and topped it all off with a piece of seared halibut spiked with a cap of classic Italian gremolata. Melted leeks are also a great transition-into-warmer-weather side dish: light and springy, yet satisfying enough for a night's sleep with a bit of chill still stuck on it.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (8- to 10-ounce) pack whole cremini mushrooms, halved
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 small leeks, halved and thinly sliced, washed well and dried
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Zest of 1 lemon
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets

Steps:

  • To prepare the melted leeks, place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring only occasionally, until they're golden brown and beginning to shrink a bit, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and reserve.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter. Add the leeks to the pan, season them with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring frequently (don't let them get brown), until they've softened, about 10 minutes. Add the white wine and dried oregano to the skillet along with the reserved mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until most of the wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes more. Season as needed with salt and pepper; reserve warm.
  • While the leeks are cooking, prepare the gremolata. In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and reserve.
  • When the leeks are just about ready, place a second medium skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Season the fish liberally with salt and pepper, and sear it flesh-side down first, turning the fillet only once, until cooked to your liking, about 5 minutes per side for medium (depending on the thickness).
  • Serve the melted leeks topped with a piece of fish per plate and a garnish of the gremolata.

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.

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 GARLIC AND PARMESAN BAKED HALIBUT



Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Baked Halibut image

Fish can be intimidating for those who didn't grow up cooking or eating it. One of the best ways to ease people into eating anything unfamiliar is by smothering it in roasted garlic and cheese. Forget the old Italian maxim of not mixing seafood and cheese: they pair magically and make first forays into cooking and eating halibut easy to execute and even easier to eat.

Provided by Naomi Tomky

Categories     Halibut     Fish     Seafood     Garlic     Parmesan

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 garlic head
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pound halibut, skin removed, in 4 even fillets
Kosher salt, as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
  • Cut off the top of the head of garlic and brush off some of the outer paper skin, leaving just the individually wrapped cloves. On a piece of foil, pour the olive oil over the garlic, then wrap the foil around it and place it in the oven for 45 minutes, until it's completely soft. For the recipe, you'll only need six cloves from the head, but it's worth making a whole head to keep the rest for spreading on crusty bread or adding to salads.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 425˚F.
  • Heat the butter in an oven-proof pan over low heat. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. When the butter is melted, add the halibut and put it into the oven for 10 minutes. The fish should be just cooked and opaque throughout.
  • While the halibut cooks, blend or food process together six cloves of garlic, the mayonnaise, and parmesan. When the halibut is done, pull it out and generously smear the mayonnaise mixture on the top. Switch the oven to a high broil and return the pan to the still-hot oven for 4 minutes under the broiler, until the top is almost entirely golden brown.
  • Remove and serve immediately.
