Halibut with Creamy Garlic and Herb Sauce image

This fresh dish is sure to please at your next dinner party! The red pepper flakes add a little kick, and toasted almonds add a delicious crunch. I like to serve this with orzo pasta or rice pilaf. This dish can also be made with fat-free half and half and low-sodium chicken broth for healthier options.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 (6 ounce) halibut fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 sprigs cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons butter
4 green onions, finely chopped
¼ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup half-and-half cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
  • Rub the halibut fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish, then press the cilantro leaves onto the top of the halibut. Bake the halibut in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine, and season with dill and tarragon. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the chicken broth, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then dissolve the flour into the water, and stir into the boiling sauce. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the halibut to serve.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of fish.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have added more garlic and herbs to the sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out lumpy. The halibut was still good, though.
