Best 6 Peas With Halibut Recipes

PEAS WITH HALIBUT

Steps:

• If using bacon, cut it into 1/4-inch bits, and render it with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet, which can later be covered. Stir until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, and reserve. If using olive oil or butter, put 3 tablespoons in skillet over medium high heat.
• Brown fish in fat quickly, just a couple of minutes to a side, sprinkling it with salt and pepper as it browns. Remove, and set aside.
• Add onions to pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add peas and lettuce, and cook, stirring, until glistening. Add a little more salt and pepper. Return fish to pan, simply resting it on top of peas-lettuce mixture. Turn heat to medium-low, cover, and cook gently until fish is done. (A thin-bladed knife inserted into its thickest part will meet little or no resistance.)
• Remove fish to a platter. Stir bacon and mint into peas mixture. Taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve fish with vegetable mixture on the side.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH PEA AND MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Fish: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a small baking sheet or glass baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour the mixture into a sealable plastic bag or a glass baking dish.

Roast until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 to 18 minutes.
• Salad: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and red bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat, then add the peas, the chopped mint, lemon zest, and thyme. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Spoon the salad onto 4 plates and top with the halibut. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve.

ROASTED HALIBUT, MASHED POTATO, A CORN AND CRAB CONFIT AND A HALIBUT BRILL, SUGAR SNAP PEAS

Steps:

• Brill: In a roasting pan, roast in the oven the onion, carrot, celery, cloves, bay leaves, black peppercorn and fish bones about 30 minutes until a dark brown color. Remove from oven and place all the ingredients in a small stock pot over high heat. Add 1 cup wine and water until just covering bones. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer for 20 minutes. Strain and discard everything; keep only the broth. Let this reduce over medium heat until only 1/4 of volume remains. Add the other half of wine, lemon juice and 2 cups water. Let reduce again by half. Set this aside.
• Mashed Potato: Peel and dice potato, top with salted water and boil until just cooked through; do not overcook to mush or cloudy water. While potato is cooking, take half of the butter and the half and half in a small saucepot. Place on low temperature; you only want butter to melt. Medium dice remaining butter and keep cold. Once potato is cooked, strain from liquid, place on baking sheet and sit in a hot oven, about 4 to 5 minutes. Take potato out of oven, put in a food mill along with cold butter cubes. Mill through and with a wooden spoon fold in butter and half and half mixture. Incorporate mixture until potato is velvety in texture; add salt and pepper to taste.
• Turnout: In a heated saucepan add olive oil. Bring to smoking hot, season fillet with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Sear flesh side of fillet until medium brown color. Turn to skin side and finish cooking in oven at 375 degrees (about 12 to 15 minutes). In a saute pan, bring 1/2 cup water to boil add 1-ounce of butter and salt and pepper; this will emulsify; then add the sugar snap peas. Bring the brill up to a good simmer in a separate pan. Heat confit if it has gotten cool.
• Presentation: On the entree plate, place a large ring cutter No. 95 in the center of plate. Fill halfway with mashed potato, then fill with the corn and crab confit. Place around the ring the snap peas, then remove ring. Once halibut is cook through, place on top of the confit and mashed potato, pour heated brill around on the plate (should be brothy). Garnish with fresh sprig of rosemary or purple basil
• Confit: In a brazier, place 1-ounce of butter, fennel and onion. Sweat down until onions are translucent. In a separate saute pan over high heat, add corn kernels, then 1-ounce of butter; 1/2 cup sugar, thyme, brown the corn, then add to fennel and onion mixture. Add 1 cup wine, apple juice, cayenne pepper, 1 1/2 cups sugar, white vinegar and wine. Cook over medium heat until liquid evaporates. Strain into colander; add parsley, matchstick chives and crabmeat. Fold into mixture; set aside.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT STEAKS WITH SNAP-PEA SAUCE AND GARNISH

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan that is 2/3 full of salted water to a boil. Add the snap peas and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge the peas into cold water in order to halt the cooking. Cool, drain again and set the peas aside.
• In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and add the shallots. Cook, stirring, until the shallots soften, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer shallots to the container of a blender. Add the stock, cream and 1/2 of the cooked peas and process until very smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to push as much of the solids through the sieve as possible. Return the sauce to the pan and then set aside.
• Season the halibut with salt and pepper. Place a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the halibut in a single layer over high heat. Add the oil. When very hot, add the halibut fillets and cook, turning once, until they are just opaque in the middle, about 10 minutes. (Lower the heat if they seem to cook too quickly.)
• While the fish is cooking, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small skillet set over medium heat and add the remaining snap peas. Cook, tossing, until just warmed through. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Rewarm the sauce, season it with salt and pepper and divide it among 4 plates. Top each plate with a halibut steak, squeeze a little lemon over each steak and arrange the snap peas around the steak. Serve immediately.

• In a medium saucepan sauté pan over moderately high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the asparagus and toss it in the melted butter. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, warm the chicken stock. Keep the stock hot on the stove.
• In a second medium saucepan over moderate heat, warm the olive oil. Add the shallot and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add the rice and sauté, stirring constantly, until just toasted. Add 1 cup of hot stock and simmer, stirring frequently, until the stock is almost absorbed, about 4 minutes. Add more stock, 1 cup at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next and stirring often, until the rice is tender and the mixture creamy, about 20 minutes longer. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, Parmesan cheese, chives, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
• Finish the halibut:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Remove the halibut from the marinade and pat dry, then roll each fillet in a piece of caul fat. In a large sauté pan over moderate heat, warm the olive oil. Sear the halibut on all sides, then finish in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes.
