PAN-FRIED HALIBUT WITH SPICED CHICKPEA AND HERB SALAD



Pan-Fried Halibut With Spiced Chickpea and Herb Salad image

Fresh spinach, herbs and spring onions come together here in a salad with crispy chickpeas, which is served with halibut and a punchy yogurt sauce for a quick and delicious supper. The Persian lime powder is optional; it can be purchased ground, or you can start with a whole dried Persian lime, roughly crush it with the side of a knife and then grind to a fine powder in a spice grinder. This recipe doesn't really need anything alongside, but some good bread could easily bulk it up. Turn it into a great vegetarian salad by eliminating the fish and adding some extra chickpeas.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup/60 milliliters olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground Persian lime powder (optional)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 lemons (finely grate the zest to get 2 teaspoons, juice to get 2 tablespoons and cut the remaining into wedges)
4 skinless boneless halibut fillets, patted dry (about 1 pound/410 grams total)
1 can chickpeas (15.5 ounces/400 grams), drained and patted dry
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/80 grams plain yogurt
1/4 packed cup/10 grams cilantro (coriander) leaves
2 packed tablespoons parsley leaves
4 spring onions, finely sliced
1 small bunch large-leaf spinach, firm stems removed, leaves finely sliced
1 or 2 mild green chiles, such as Anaheim, to taste, finely sliced and seeds removed if you like
Salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Marinate the fish and chickpeas: In a small bowl, mix the first 6 ingredients together with the lemon zest. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons of marinade to a bowl with the halibut and mix well. Add 2 tablespoons of the marinade to a separate bowl with the chickpeas and stir to combine. Set both aside at room temperature for 20 minutes. Mix the remaining marinade together with the yogurt and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, blend the herbs together with the spring onions, spinach, chiles, lemon juice and a good pinch of salt.
  • Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, then add 1/2 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chickpeas (and bits of garlic) and fry for 6 minutes, stirring every now and then until crisp and golden-brown. Transfer to a plate and wipe the pan clean.
  • Return the pan to a medium-high heat with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the halibut fillets, spaced apart, and fry for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and fry for another 2 minutes on the other side until both sides are crisp and golden brown.
  • Very carefully transfer the fillets to a large platter. Toss the chickpeas gently with the salad, then transfer the salad to the platter next to the halibut fillets. Drizzle half of the yogurt over the salad and serve with the lemon wedges and the remaining yogurt sauce alongside.

GARLIC-AND-HERB OVEN FRIED HALIBUT



Garlic-And-Herb Oven Fried Halibut image

Well most of it's done in the oven! The original recipe is from Cooking Light but I've made a couple modifications. While the fish is baking I deglaze the frying pan with a flavored vinegar (I use a tequila-lime vinegar) and a little water, then top the fish with the sauce before serving. Here's a great resource for more ideas on deglazing http://www.foodnetwork.com

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality fish. Halibut is a mild-flavored fish that can easily be overpowered by strong flavors. Make sure to use fresh, high-quality halibut fillets to ensure the best flavor.
  • Cook the halibut gently. Halibut is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it gently over medium heat until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make the halibut dry and tough.
  • Season the halibut well. Halibut has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful dish.
  • Serve the halibut with a light and flavorful sauce. A light and flavorful sauce will complement the delicate flavor of the halibut. Try a simple lemon-butter sauce, a white wine sauce, or a salsa verde.
  • Pair the halibut with a variety of sides. Halibut is a versatile fish that can be paired with a variety of sides. Try roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried halibut is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
