Categories     Meat and Poultry     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

¼ cup canola oil for pan-frying
4 (7 ounce) halibut fillets
Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour for dredging
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, minced
2 ounces thickly sliced Spanish serrano ham (or prosciutto) cut into 1/4-inch dice
¼ cup golden raisins, soaked in hot water to soften
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and patted dry
¼ cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
⅓ cup Calvados (apple brandy)
½ cup chicken stock
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
Kosher salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Heat canola oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Season halibut to taste with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, and shake off the excess. Sear the halibut until golden brown on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Pour excess oil from skillet, then place into preheated oven, and bake until flakey, 7 to 8 minutes.

Add the ham, drained raisins, capers, and pine nuts; continue cooking for another minute. Pour in Calvados, and cook until reduced by half. Add the chicken stock, increase heat to high, and boil until 1/4 of the stock has evaporated.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, and quickly whisk in 1/2 cup butter until dissolved. Whisk in the parsley and thyme; season to taste with salt. To serve, arrange halibut on a warmed serving platter or individual plates, pour the sauce overtop. Serve immediately.

SLOW ROASTED HALIBUT



Slow Roasted Halibut image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
Four 6- to 8-ounce halibut fillets, skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 middle neck clams, cleaned
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 shallots, roughly chopped
Small bundle fresh parsley with stems, roughly chopped (optional)
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup Champagne
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 fresh bay leaf
1 shallot, thinly sliced
Juice and peel of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 tablespoon creme fraiche
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces uni
1 tablespoon finely sliced chives
1 zucchini, thinly sliced on a mandoline
Zest of 1 lemon
Extra-virgin olive oil
Caviar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • For the fish: Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper. Butter the parchment with 2 tablespoons of the butter, then smear another 2 tablespoons on the halibut fillets. Season the fillets on both sides with salt and place in the oven to slow roast until opaque and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a deep-sided pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter, the clams, garlic, shallots, parsley and a pinch of salt. And the wine, immediately cover with a lid and steam until the clams open, about 5 minutes. Transfer the clams to a bowl and set aside. Pour the clam cooking liquid through a fine-mesh strainer and set aside.
  • For the beurre blanc: Combine the reserved clam liquid, Champagne, thyme, bay leaf, shallots, lemon juice and peel and peppercorns in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduced by two-thirds (the saucepan will be almost dry), 10 to 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer fitted with a coffee filter into a small pot.
  • Place the pot over medium-low heat, add a few cubes of the chilled butter and whisk constantly until the butter is melted. Repeat the process 2 more times with the remaining butter. Don't allow the sauce to boil or it will break. Whisk in the creme fraiche and a pinch of salt. Using an immersion blender, blend the uni into the sauce, then stir in the chives. Remove the clams from their shells, add them to the beurre blanc and keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
  • For serving: Cover the bottom of each plate with a layer of zucchini slices, slightly overlapping them in a circular pattern. Top with the lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place a halibut fillet on the zucchini, spoon the beurre blanc over the fish, then top with caviar.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH MUSSEL BUTTER SAUCE



Roasted Halibut With Mussel Butter Sauce image

This is a stunning seafood main course that needs only a side dish, such as braised fennel or orzo salad, and some crusty bread served alongside for a delicious dinner party. Halibut is a mild yet buttery and rich fish with firm, meaty flesh. Here, the fish is wrapped in seaweed, which imparts subtle sea flavor and keeps the fish tender and juicy while it roasts. Mussels are steamed open in a bath of clam juice and kelp broth, releasing their flavorful juices into the liquid, which becomes a silky sauce. Earthy saffron adds depth and beautiful color, and just enough butter and cream round out the sauce without making it too heavy. For a festive presentation, top the fish with vibrant salmon roe, which look like jewels and offer pops of brininess.

Categories     seafood, main course

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ounces dried kelp (dashima or kombu; see Tip)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 (2 1/2-pound) skinless halibut or cod fillet (1-inch thick; see Tip)
Kosher salt
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice
3 dozen mussels, cleaned (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon saffron, crumbled
2 small shallots, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon, plus small leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine kelp with 4 cups of cool water and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of the kelp water.
  • On a lightly greased rimmed sheet pan, arrange half of the softened kelp in the center, allowing excess water to drip off kelp and slightly overlapping the pieces. (Do not squeeze water out of the kelp). Rub halibut with 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt. Set halibut in the center of the kelp and lift kelp over the sides of the fish. It should stick to the fish. Top halibut with the remaining kelp, slightly overlapping, and tuck the kelp loosely underneath the fish to enclose it.
  • Roast halibut until just opaque in the center, about 15 minutes. A metal cake tester or skewer inserted in the center of the fish should feel warm to the touch. Transfer wrapped halibut to a serving platter.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot, combine clam juice and the reserved kelp water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add mussels, cover and cook until mussels open, 2 to 3 minutes; begin checking mussels at 2 minutes and transfer them to a bowl as they open (discard any that do not open). Tent with foil to keep warm. Pour mussel broth into a separate bowl, leaving behind any grit in the pot, and reserve the broth. Rinse out pot to remove any grit.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice with the saffron in a small bowl and mix well. In the rinsed pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved mussel broth (and any juice that has drained from the mussels) and saffron-lemon juice, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently to allow flavors to meld, about 5 minutes. Discard garlic.
  • While whisking constantly, add butter 1 tablespoon at a time, blending in each addition before adding the next. Then, whisk in heavy cream. Gently simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley and tarragon, and season with salt. You should have about 2 cups of sauce.
  • Remove the top layer of kelp to reveal halibut. You can serve the kelp to eat with the fish or discard it. Arrange mussels around halibut, removing the top shells for easier eating if you'd like. Spoon some sauce over the mussels and fish, and garnish with parsley and tarragon.
  • To serve, divide the fish and mussels among plates. Garnish with more parsley and tarragon. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

HALIBUT ROASTED WITH GARLIC-PARSLEY BUTTER



Halibut Roasted with Garlic-Parsley Butter image

It takes a very hot oven to roast this fish, and the results are incredible! The halibut is gently browned on the outside. You'd never be able to accomplish this "blast of hot air" in a conventional oven because the circulating heat hits everything at one time. Sometimes I add a few baby potatoes, scrubbed and quartered, or a quartered fennel bulb, tossed in melted butter and scattered around the fish. They'll be done at the same time as the halibut.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 1 1/2-pound halibut fillet, thawed if frozen
8 tablespoons (1 stick) melted butter
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position the oven racks so that the top rack is 5 to 6 inches from the top of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 500°F. Cover a shallow-rimmed roasting pan with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
  • Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Center it on the pan. Mix the butter, parsley, and garlic together. Brush the fish on both sides with the mixture.
  • Roast the fish for 10 minutes, until it flakes when tested with a fork. Brush with any remaining butter mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer it to a warm serving platter.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH FRESH HERB SAUCE



Roasted Halibut With Fresh Herb Sauce image

Halibut with herb sauce dares to bring fish that's not smoked to the brunch table. Created by husband-and-wife team, Gayle Pirie and John Clark, of San Francisco's Zuni Cafe, when they resolved to rescue what they saw as an unloved meal from its second-class status. They accomplished this feat in part by moving beyond eggs. While this dish doesn't shout Christmas any more than it does brunch, it's ideal for the holidays: easy to prepare, perfect to serve to large groups and crafted to make the most of comforting seasonal ingredients. Match this simple, mild fish with a light, fresh and fruity white like the fragrant 1998 Antinori Galestro or the 1998 Anselmi Soave San Vincenzo. MAKE AHEAD The sauce can be refrigerated for several hours.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 24m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumb
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup arugula leaf, finely chopped
1 tablespoon marjoram, finely chopped
1 tablespoon oregano, finely chopped
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
6 (6 ounce) halibut, skinless or 6 (6 ounce) cod fish fillets

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°. In a medium bowl, toss the bread crumbs with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the minced garlic and the wine. Spread the crumbs on a pie plate and toast for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of oil with the parsley, arugula, marjoram, oregano, vinegar and the remaining 1 teaspoon of garlic. Season the herb sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly oil a large baking dish. Arrange the halibut fillets in the dish, season with salt and pepper and roast for 8 minutes. Sprinkle the fish with the toasted bread crumbs and bake for about 8 minutes longer, or until the fish is cooked through. Transfer the fish to plates, drizzle with the herb sauce and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh halibut fillets that are about 1 inch thick.
  • If you don't have a baking sheet, you can also roast the halibut in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the halibut, or it will become dry and tough. The fish is done cooking when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the roasted halibut with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Roasted halibut with garlic sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is roasted until it is flaky and tender, and the garlic sauce adds a rich and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
