SECRET FRIED HALIBUT



Secret Fried Halibut image

This is by far the BEST fried halibut I have EVER had! (That really says a lot being from Alaska you know hehe). Simple and delicious with a "secret" ingredient that will knock your socks off! Even my kids like it and they do not like fish at all. I find the perfect meal with this fish is "sticky rice" and creamed corn, but you decide for yourself!

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 six ounce peices, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium halibut fillet (approx 3 lbs)
2 cups white flour
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 pinch onion powder
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard (or to taste)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil (amount will vary)

Steps:

  • Cut halibut into portion size pieces (this will vary with every family); set aside.
  • In gallon ziplock bag combine all dry ingredients; seal bag and shake to mix. Add halibut pieces to dry ingredients and shake thoroughly again.
  • In small bowl combine mayonnaise and mustard; mix thoroughly (secret ingredient!).
  • Add some oil to skillet over med heat until oil begins to ripple. You will need to add more oil in small amounts at a time throughout cooking.
  • Add halibut a few pieces at a time to skillet until full. DO NOT OVERLAP FISH. Cook until just beginning to brown on bottom side and flip. Once turned, lightly baste browned side of fish with mayonnaise mixture. Turn fish once more and repeat basting. The key to this step is to re brown basted sides of fish before removing from pan. The pieces should turn a deep brown (not black but close). That is when you know they are done.
  • Serve while still hot. (May be kept in warm oven until all fish is done).

Categories     Chef & Fishermen Recipes

Time 1m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1-2 pounds skinless halibut fillet
Oil for frying (such as canola, peanut or vegetable oil)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon fennel pollen or ground fennel seed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper or chili powder
A pinch of white pepper
Salt, to taste
About 1 cup sparkling ice water
1 tablespoon vodka (optional)
Malt vinegar, for serving
3 egg yolks
1 tablespoon Sambuca (or sherry wine vinegar)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
Salt, to taste
1 tablespoon sliced chives
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Pat dry the halibut fillets and sprinkle all over with salt. Let rest in the fridge for an hour.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, fennel, baking powder, crushed red pepper, white pepper and salt. Slowly add the ice-cold sparkling water and optional vodka. Mix until smooth and the consistency resembles heavy cream.
  • Fill a large, wide, heavy bottomed pot with oil about halfway. As a precaution, never fill your pot to the top, and always leave room for the oil to bubble up. Heat the oil to 370F.
  • Dip each piece of fish into the batter one by one, lifting gently and allowing excess batter to drip completely, before carefully placing the battered fish into the hot oil. When placing the halibut into the oil, try to hold the fish and drag it back and forth through the oil for a few seconds before releasing it, allowing the batter to set. This will prevent the fish from sinking to the bottom and sticking. When the batter is golden and crispy the fish will be moist, succulent, and perfectly cooked.
  • Immediately transfer the fish to a wire rack or paper towel to whisk away any excess oil. Dust with extra fennel and crushed red pepper and splash with malt vinegar before serving.
  • Place the egg yolks, Sambuca, lemon juice, sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Whisk vigorously for 5-8 minutes until the eggs are cooked, aerated, and frothy. Remove the bowl from the heat and fold in the chives and parsley. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.
