FRESH HALIBUT STEAMED IN SWISS CHARD WITH THAI CURRY CREAM

One of the most interesting food tours you can take is down the aisles of an Asian and especially Southeast Asian grocery store. There are all kinds of strange, exotic ingredients that generally are inexpensive and certainly worth a try. Over the years I've shopped in a couple of stores fairly regularly and have just been amazed at the diversity of products available, especially curry pastes. They come in every color and flavor imaginable, are delicious and very different from Indian curries. The curry paste I like best for this dish is one called Massaman curry, a red curry. I encourage you to try them all and use your favorite mixture.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 (5-ounce) portions fresh halibut cut 3/4-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
12 to 16 large chard leaves, tough center rib removed
2 cups sliced oyster mushrooms
2/3 cup finely sliced scallions
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup rich fish or mushroom stock
Thai Curry Cream (recipe follows)
Garnish: Cilantro sprigs and finely sliced, deep-fried leeks (white part only)

Steps:

  • Season halibut lightly with salt, pepper and lime zest and set aside. Blanch chard leaves in lightly salted water for 5 to 10 seconds until softened and then immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking and set color. Pat dry and wrap halibut pieces completely with leaves.
  • To serve: Add mushrooms, scallions and olive oil to an oven-proof saute pan large enough to hold fish in one layer. Saute mushroom mixture until its just beginning to color. Place wrapped fish on top of mushroom mixture, add the wine and stock and cover. Finish cooking fish on top of stove over moderate heat or in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish is cooked through. With a spatula, lift fish and its mushroom bed and place attractively on warm plates. Pour sauce around and garnish with cilantro sprigs and deep fried leeks on top of wrapped fish.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
4 very large Swiss chard leaves, halved lengthwise, center stems cut out
4 1-inch-thick halibut fillets (each 6 to 8 ounces)
4 lemon slices

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Blend butter, fresh lemon juice, chopped fresh thyme, chopped fresh chives, and grated lemon peel in small bowl; season butter to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place four 12-inch squares of foil on work surface. Overlap center edge of 2 chard halves on each square. Sprinkle fillets on each side with salt and pepper, then spread with some lemon-thyme butter. Top each with lemon slice. Place 1 fillet crosswise on widest part of chard. Fold bottom of leaf over fillet, then continue to roll up (sides will be open). Enclose each wrapped fillet in foil. Arrange packets on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until fish is just opaque in center, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer packets to plates, open foil, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest halibut you can find. Look for fish that is firm and has a mild, sweet smell. Avoid halibut that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Sear the halibut over high heat to get a nice crust. This will help to lock in the fish's natural flavors and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Don't overcook the halibut. Halibut is a delicate fish that can easily become dry if it is cooked for too long. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of fresh vegetables in the sautéed swiss chard. This will add color, flavor, and nutrition to the dish. Some good options include kale, spinach, arugula, and bell peppers.
  • Make sure the salsa cruda is well-seasoned. This will help to brighten up the flavors of the fish and vegetables.
  • Serve the seared halibut with sautéed swiss chard and salsa cruda immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

This seared halibut with sautéed swiss chard and salsa cruda is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The fish is cooked perfectly and the vegetables are flavorful and colorful. The salsa cruda adds a bright and tangy flavor that really brings the dish together. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
