Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 small fennel bulbs, fronds reserved, bulbs cut into 1/2"-thick wedges
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 cups heavy cream
1 Tbsp. plus 3 tsp. kosher salt, divided; plus more
1 1/2 lb. skin-on halibut fillet, patted dry
1 small lemon
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Place fennel in a large saucepan wide enough to fit fish comfortably. Add garlic, cream, and 1 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. salt. Place over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until fennel is just tender, 12-15 minutes (do not let cream come to a boil). Remove from heat.
  • Season fish with remaining 1 tsp. salt. Using tongs, carefully slip fish into pan (it should be mostly covered). Transfer to oven and cook fish, uncovered, until flesh easily flakes with a fork, 18-22 minutes.
  • While the fish is cooking, finely chop reserved fennel fronds and place in a small bowl (you should have about 1/2 cup). Cut ends off lemon; discard. Place lemon upright on one end and cut lemon into four lobes, working around the center as you would an apple and leaving core and seeds behind. Finely chop lobes (peel and all) and transfer to bowl with fennel fronds. (You should have about 1/3 cup.) Squeeze juice from core over fennel fronds; discard core. Drizzle in oil and toss mixture to combine. Season fennel oil with salt and lots of pepper.
  • Break fish into large pieces and divide among shallow bowls. Divide garlic and fennel among bowls and ladle some garlic cream on top; spoon fennel oil over.

This recipe is not worth the effort. The fish was dry and the sauce was bland.

This recipe is way too complicated. I ended up just grilling the halibut and serving it with lemon wedges.

The sauce was too thin for my taste. I added some cornstarch to thicken it up.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the fish was overcooked. I think it would be better to cook it for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some salt and pepper to the sauce, and it was much better.

I'm not a fan of fennel, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

I used cod instead of halibut, and it turned out great. I also added a bit of lemon zest to the sauce, which brightened up the flavor.

This dish is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The slow-cooking process really brings out the flavor of the halibut.

This slow-cooked halibut recipe is a real winner! The fish was incredibly tender and flaky, and the garlic cream and fennel sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over rice, and it was a hit with my family.
