Number Of Ingredients 1

1 batch 4 (6- to 8-ounce) skinless halibut fillets, 3/4 to 1 inch thick ; Salt and pepper; 6 tablespoons unsalted butter ;1 pound leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced thin, and washed thoroughly ;1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; 3/4 cup dry white wine; 1 teaspoon lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving; 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle fish with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Melt butter in 12-inch skillet over low heat. Place fish in skillet, skinned side up, increase heat to medium, and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until butter begins to brown (fish should not brown), 3 to 4 minutes. Using spatula, carefully transfer fish to large plate, raw side down. 2. Add leeks, mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks begin to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Add wine and bring to gentle simmer. Place fish, raw side down, on top of leeks. Cover skillet and cook, adjusting heat to maintain gentle simmer, until fish registers 135 to 140 degrees, 10 to 14 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and, using 2 spatulas, transfer fish and leeks to serving platter or individual plates. Tent loosely with aluminum foil. 3. Return skillet to high heat and simmer briskly until sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat, stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over fish and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

This dish is a keeper. The halibut is tender and flaky, and the sauce is rich and creamy. I highly recommend it.

I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this dish was surprisingly good. The halibut was cooked perfectly and the sauce was light and flavorful. I would definitely make it again.

This dish was a disappointment. The halibut was overcooked and the sauce was too thick and heavy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The halibut was cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I think I would add some more herbs and spices next time.
