Number Of Ingredients 16

Bechamel Sauce:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup flour
2 cups whole milk, warmed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
Halibut:
1 (750 ml) bottle white wine, such as pinot grigio
2 cups water
4 (6-ounce) center-cut halibut fillets, about 1-inch thick (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Cook's Note: The halibut can be substituted with 24 ounces of sole fillets. Reduce the cooking time in the wine mixture to 3 to 4 minutes. Spray a 7 by 11-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside. For the bechamel sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. For the halibut: In a large saucepan, bring the wine and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the halibut. Cover the pan and cook until the flesh is opaque, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a fish spatula, carefully remove the fish and arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat a broiler. Spoon the bechamel sauce over the fish and top with the Parmesan. Dot with butter and broil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes.

I've tried many halibut recipes, but this one is by far the best. The bechamel sauce is the perfect complement to the delicate flavor of the fish, and the broiling method gives the halibut a nice crispy skin.
