Broiled Halibut Steaks With Cranberry Compote image

During the summer months when fresh berries and fresh halibut are available, try using blackberries or blueberries in place of the cranberries, adding sugar only if necessary. Boiled or steamed red new potatoes are an ideal accompaniment. From simplyseafood.com.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 halibut steaks, 1-inch thick (6 to 8 oz each)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 (12 ounce) bag fresh cranberries
1 ripe but firm pear, peeled, cored, and chopped
3 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
1/4 cup water
1 pinch ground cloves
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup walnut pieces, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Rinse the halibut steaks in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil.
  • Add the onion and cook over moderately-high heat until the onions are soft and very lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the cranberries, pear, sugar and water and stir to mix.
  • Heat the berries over moderate heat, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes; do not boil or the berries will cook to a puree.
  • Stir in the cloves, salt and pepper and taste the compote for seasoning, adding more sugar if the cranberries are especially tart.
  • Preheat the broiler, set the oven rack about 4 inches from the heat and lightly oil the broiler pan rack.
  • Season each side of the halibut steaks with salt and pepper and set the steaks on the broiler rack.
  • Broil the halibut for 3 to 4 minutes, turn the steaks and broil on the other side until the fish is just opaque through, 4 to 5 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, reheat the compote and stir in the walnut pieces.
  • Transfer the halibut steaks to individual dinner plates, spoon the cranberry compote partly over and alongside the halibut and serve immediately.
  • Garnish with pear wedges or chopped walnuts if you like.

The halibut was a bit dry. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time or using a different cooking method, such as baking or pan-frying.

I found the cranberry compote to be a bit too sweet for my liking. I would recommend using less sugar or adding some tart fruit, such as cranberries or raspberries, to balance out the sweetness.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to the halibut before broiling.
