PAN SEARED HALIBUT



Pan Seared Halibut image

Halibut has a delicate flavor and firm texture. Overcooking can dry it out. So Pan searing and basting with the oil/ butter mixture keeps it moist and flaky. Pan searing adds a nice light crust to the outside of the halibut. Then into the oven to finish cooking.

SEARED HALIBUT W/ HARICOTS VERT, SCALLIONS AND WHITE WINE SAUCE



Seared Halibut W/ Haricots Vert, Scallions and White Wine Sauce image

Don't be scared off by the title -- this is surprisingly easy to prepare despite the complexity of its flavors. I like to serve this over linguine tossed in lemon and olive oil. Yum. From the Twelve Seasons Cookbook, and I've added my modifications at the end.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb young green beans or 1 lb wax bean
4 (7 ounce) halibut fillets, each approximately 1 inch thick
coarse salt
fresh ground white pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup sauvignon blanc wine or 1/4 cup other dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (to taste)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
5 scallions, white part only, finely sliced on the bias
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
1 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice

Steps:

  • In a pot of boiling salted water set over high heat, cook the haricots verts for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Drain and place them in the center of a large, warm serving platter. Cover and keep warm.
  • Season the halibut on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for about 3 minutes, until lightly browned. Turn, reduce the heat to medium, and cook about 4 minutes longer, until the fish is opaque in the center and browned on both sides. Put the fish on the platter with the beans and cover to keep warm.
  • Pour off any oil in the pan and add the wine and lemon juice. Raise the heat to high and deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sauce reduces by half, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and stir in the butter, a piece at a time, to enrich and flavor the sauce. Add the scallions, capers, and tomato. Season with salt and pepper, and pour over the fish on the platter. Serve immediately.
  • My modifications: I double the wine and capers and decrease the amount of butter to 1/4 cup. If I have time, I marinade the fish for an hour in wine, olive oil, garlic, fresh rosemary and thyme.
