Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 halibut steaks, cut in half (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Juice of 1 lime or lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
1 cup dry white wine
2 shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups Arborio or short grain rice
Approximately 1 1/2 quarts hot chicken or fish stock, or water
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Wipe the halibut steaks dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with lime or lemon juice and olive oil. Set aside. Mix the saffron with the wine and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, soften the shallots, garlic and jalapena pepper in the butter. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the grains are opaque. Pour in the saffron wine mixture and bring to boil, stirring.
  • Turn down heat and add a cup of stock or water. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. As the liquid evaporates, add more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue adding liquid and stirring for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is al dente. The liquid should be absorbed; the rice should be creamy.
  • While the rice is cooking, broil the halibut steaks. If they are done before the rice, keep warm.
  • Add the cream to the rice, stir thoroughly over low heat and correct seasoning. Place half a halibut steak on each plate, plus a serving of rice. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

I followed the recipe exactly and the halibut was overcooked. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.
