Best 7 Pan Seared Halibut With Soppressata And Fennel Recipes

SLOW-COOKED HALIBUT WITH GARLIC CREAM AND FENNEL

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.

• Dredge all sides of each piece in flour mixture to evenly coat; tap off excess flour.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the orange and tangerine. Working over a large bowl, carefully cut between the membranes to release the citrus segments, allowing them to fall into the bowl along with any juices. Add the avocado, onions, cilantro and lime zest and juice to the bowl with the citrus. Gently toss to mix. Season the salsa with salt and pepper.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the halibut liberally with salt and pepper. Add the halibut to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the halibut to serving plates, top with salsa and serve.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH CHARMOULA OVER QUINOA AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Put the cumin in a small dry skillet over medium-high heat and swirl until toasted and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the cumin to a food processor along with the cilantro, parsley, oil, paprika, cayenne, garlic and lemon zest and juice. Pulse until coarsely blended. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Gradually add the quinoa, lower the heat to medium-high and keep at a rolling simmer for 10 minutes. Add the asparagus and continue to cook for 3 more minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook the onions in a medium skillet with the oil over medium-high heat until caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes. Fold the onions into the quinoa and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the halibut with salt and pepper and place the fish in the skillet, flesh-side down. Cook until just opaque and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side (depending on the thickness of the fish).
