Categories     Fish     Roast     Easter     Quick & Easy     Seafood     Halibut     Spring     Tarragon     Hazelnut     Butter     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup blanched hazelnuts
1 large bunch fresh tarragon
1 3-3 1/2-pounds skinless halibut fillet (halved lengthwise if very wide)
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Lemon halves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread hazelnuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden, 8-10 minutes. Coarsely chop; set aside.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Scatter tarragon sprigs on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place halibut on top, drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast until halibut is just opaque in the center, 20-30 minutes, depending on thickness of fish.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns (don't let it burn), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let brown butter cool slightly. Stir in lemon juice, hazelnuts, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve fish with hazelnut brown butter sauce and lemon halves.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect brown butter, watch it closely and remove it from the heat as soon as it turns a deep golden brown color. If you let it go too long, it will burn.
  • For the best flavor, use fresh tarragon and walnuts. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can use dried, but use only half the amount.
  • If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
  • This sauce is also great on fish, chicken, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Tarragon walnut brown butter sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion dinner.
