ROASTED HALIBUT WITH SAFFRON-FENNEL BUTTER



Roasted Halibut with Saffron-Fennel Butter image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon lightly crumbled saffron threads
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small bulb fennel, trimmed, cored and thinly sliced, plus fennel fronds for topping
1 clove garlic, finely grated
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
4 8-ounce center-cut halibut fillets (skin-on)

Steps:

  • Combine 1 tablespoon butter and the saffron in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter melts, about 1 minute. Let cool 5 minutes. Place the remaining butter and the fennel seeds in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the melted saffron butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and continue pulsing until the butter is bright yellow. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap and form into a 4-inch log; freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. (The saffron butter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the sliced fennel, garlic, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons water in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons water and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover with foil and bake until the fennel is tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Toss the tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the tomatoes over the fennel. Set the halibut on top of the vegetables; drizzle with the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake, uncovered, until the halibut is firm and no longer translucent, about 12 minutes; remove from the oven and top each piece with a thin slice of saffron butter. Return the halibut to the oven and bake until the butter just begins to melt, about 2 more minutes. Serve with fennel fronds.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH LEMONS, OLIVES AND ROSEMARY



Roasted Halibut With Lemons, Olives and Rosemary image

Fish can be finicky dinner-party fare, especially for the distracted cook. Step away for a moment to sip your cocktail and your fillets might go from pearly to parched. This dish, though, inspired by one from Southern Italy, elegantly feeds a crowd. The fish, halibut, is seasoned with chile, salt and olive oil, then topped with rosemary, lemon and olives and roasted. It's a lighter main dish that won't leave anyone hungry.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8-ounce) halibut fillets, preferably at least 1-inch thick
1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, more to taste
Kosher salt
Ground chile pepper, preferably Turkish or Aleppo
2 rosemary branches
1 small lemon, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced, pitted calamata or other good-quality black olives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place fish in a baking dish, brush fillets with 1 teaspoon of oil and season with salt and chile pepper. Top each fillet with a rosemary branch and several slices of lemon. Drizzle remaining oil over lemon slices and sprinkle with additional salt. Scatter olives over fish and pan.
  • Bake until just opaque, about 10 minutes. If lemon slices have not browned or singed (this will depend on how thinly you slice them), place pan under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with more olive oil; sprinkle with more salt and chili, if desired.

ROAST HALIBUT WITH CHORIZO AND SPICY TOMATO BROTH



Roast Halibut with Chorizo and Spicy Tomato Broth image

Categories     Tomato     Side     Roast     Steam     Stew     Dinner     Halibut     Kosher     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 (5- to 6-ounce) whole Mexican-style chorizo sausages
1 pound fingerling potatoes
Tomato Broth
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 cups peeled, seeded, and diced fresh tomatoes, or 2 cups canned whole peeled tomatoes in puree, broken up by hand
1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 cups chicken stock (page 190) or vegetable stock (page 191)
1/2 cup Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc
Kosher salt
4 (4- to 5-ounce) skinless halibut or cod fillets
Freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat the olive oil in a small ovenproof skillet over moderate heat. Add the chorizo and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the sausages feel firm, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then cut into 1-inch-thick slices.
  • Put the potatoes in a saucepan with salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, adjust the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool. Peel, then cut into 1-inch chunks.
  • For the tomato broth: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the bell peppers and sauté, stirring, for about 3 minutes to soften them, then add the garlic and chile flakes. Lower the heat and cook for about 1 minute to release the garlic fragrance, then add the tomatoes and the oregano, rubbing the herb between your fingers. Simmer briskly until the tomatoes soften, about 2 minutes, then add the stock and wine. Simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken the liquid slightly, then add the chorizo and potatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes to develop the flavor. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange the fillets on top of the stew, then cover and simmer gently until the fish is fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Divide the chorizo, potatoes, and broth among 4 soup bowls, then top each portion with a fish fillet. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Carneros Pinot Noir or another medium-bodied red wine with zesty fruit.

Tips for a Perfect Roasted Halibut with Tomatoes, Saffron, and Cilantro

  • Choose the freshest halibut you can find, with firm, white flesh and a mild, sweet flavor.
  • Roast the halibut at a high temperature (425°F) for a short period of time (10-12 minutes) to prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or rub to enhance the taste of the halibut. A simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs works well.
  • Roast the tomatoes and onions along with the halibut for a delicious and colorful side dish.
  • Garnish the halibut with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
