BROILED HALIBUT WITH BECHAMEL SAUCE RECIPE



Broiled Halibut with Bechamel Sauce Recipe image

Provided by Jlundquist

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure the halibut is cooked evenly, use a fish spatula to gently flip it halfway through the broiling time.
  • If you don't have a broiler pan, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • For a crispy topping, sprinkle the halibut with bread crumbs before broiling.
  • To make a creamy bechamel sauce, use whole milk instead of skim milk.
  • If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can use lime juice instead.
  • Serve the halibut with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Broiled halibut with bechamel sauce is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The halibut is cooked to perfection and the bechamel sauce is creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
