Butter-Roasted Halibut with Asparagus and Olives image

Vegetables that are best served crisp-tender are a great accompaniment to a slow-roasted fish because they will come out perfectly cooked at the same time.

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 bunches asparagus, trimmed, halved lengthwise if thick, divided
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tsp. Aleppo-style pepper
2 1/2 lb. skinless halibut, salmon, or arctic char fillet
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 bunches ramps or scallions, trimmed
3/4 cup Castelvetrano olives, pitted, torn
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped tarragon, plus leaves for serving
Boiled small waxy potatoes and lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Thinly slice one-quarter of asparagus into coins and place in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Heat butter and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small saucepan over medium. As soon as butter is melted, add Aleppo-style pepper and remove from heat.
  • Season fish with salt and black pepper on both sides and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Scatter ramps and remaining asparagus around fish; season with salt and black pepper. Pour butter mixture over fish and vegetables. Give vegetables a toss to evenly coat. Roast, undisturbed, until fish is just opaque in the center and asparagus is bright green and tender, 15-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
  • Toss olives, chives, lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. tarragon, and remaining 5 Tbsp. oil with reserved asparagus; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Transfer fish to a platter; top with ramps and asparagus. Spoon some olive mixture over, then scatter tarragon leaves over. Serve with potatoes, lemon wedges, and remaining olive mixture alongside.

SEARED HALIBUT WITH PARMIGIANA ASPARAGUS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 (6-ounce) halibut steaks
Sea salt
White pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
16 young asparagus
1 small shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • For halibut: Preheat a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and butter. Season halibut with salt and pepper and dust with the flour, shaking off the excess. As your butter starts to brown, gently lay each steak in your pan. Allow to cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  • For asparagus: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Trim and clean your asparagus. In a large bowl add cleaned asparagus, minced garlic, minced shallots, and extra-virgin olive oil. Season, to taste. Lay prepared asparagus on a half sheet pan and roast until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Right before taking your roasted asparagus out of the oven liberally top with freshly grated parmesan cheese. The heat of your pan should melt your cheese.
  • To serve, place 4 pieces of asparagus on a plate, top with golden brown halibut steak. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Garnish with a sprig of chervil or chives

SLOW ROASTED HALIBUT

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
Four 6- to 8-ounce halibut fillets, skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 middle neck clams, cleaned
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 shallots, roughly chopped
Small bundle fresh parsley with stems, roughly chopped (optional)
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup Champagne
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 fresh bay leaf
1 shallot, thinly sliced
Juice and peel of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 tablespoon creme fraiche
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces uni
1 tablespoon finely sliced chives
1 zucchini, thinly sliced on a mandoline
Zest of 1 lemon
Extra-virgin olive oil
Caviar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • For the fish: Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper. Butter the parchment with 2 tablespoons of the butter, then smear another 2 tablespoons on the halibut fillets. Season the fillets on both sides with salt and place in the oven to slow roast until opaque and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a deep-sided pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter, the clams, garlic, shallots, parsley and a pinch of salt. And the wine, immediately cover with a lid and steam until the clams open, about 5 minutes. Transfer the clams to a bowl and set aside. Pour the clam cooking liquid through a fine-mesh strainer and set aside.
  • For the beurre blanc: Combine the reserved clam liquid, Champagne, thyme, bay leaf, shallots, lemon juice and peel and peppercorns in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduced by two-thirds (the saucepan will be almost dry), 10 to 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer fitted with a coffee filter into a small pot.
  • Place the pot over medium-low heat, add a few cubes of the chilled butter and whisk constantly until the butter is melted. Repeat the process 2 more times with the remaining butter. Don't allow the sauce to boil or it will break. Whisk in the creme fraiche and a pinch of salt. Using an immersion blender, blend the uni into the sauce, then stir in the chives. Remove the clams from their shells, add them to the beurre blanc and keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
  • For serving: Cover the bottom of each plate with a layer of zucchini slices, slightly overlapping them in a circular pattern. Top with the lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place a halibut fillet on the zucchini, spoon the beurre blanc over the fish, then top with caviar.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH LEMONS, OLIVES AND ROSEMARY



Roasted Halibut With Lemons, Olives and Rosemary image

Fish can be finicky dinner-party fare, especially for the distracted cook. Step away for a moment to sip your cocktail and your fillets might go from pearly to parched. This dish, though, inspired by one from Southern Italy, elegantly feeds a crowd. The fish, halibut, is seasoned with chile, salt and olive oil, then topped with rosemary, lemon and olives and roasted. It's a lighter main dish that won't leave anyone hungry.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8-ounce) halibut fillets, preferably at least 1-inch thick
1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, more to taste
Kosher salt
Ground chile pepper, preferably Turkish or Aleppo
2 rosemary branches
1 small lemon, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced, pitted calamata or other good-quality black olives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place fish in a baking dish, brush fillets with 1 teaspoon of oil and season with salt and chile pepper. Top each fillet with a rosemary branch and several slices of lemon. Drizzle remaining oil over lemon slices and sprinkle with additional salt. Scatter olives over fish and pan.
  • Bake until just opaque, about 10 minutes. If lemon slices have not browned or singed (this will depend on how thinly you slice them), place pan under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with more olive oil; sprinkle with more salt and chili, if desired.

Tips for Cooking Perfect Butter Roasted Halibut with Asparagus and Olives

- To ensure your halibut is cooked evenly, opt for fillets of uniform thickness. If necessary, carefully slice thicker portions horizontally to create thinner, more consistent pieces. - Enhance the flavor of your halibut by generously seasoning it with salt and pepper before roasting. You can also incorporate herbs like thyme or rosemary for an aromatic touch. - Roast the halibut at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) to achieve a crispy exterior while maintaining a tender, flaky interior. Keep an eye on the fish to prevent overcooking, as halibut cooks quickly. - For perfectly roasted asparagus, toss the spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper before spreading them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them alongside the halibut until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred. - To add a briny, salty flavor to the dish, incorporate Kalamata or Niçoise olives. Toss them with the asparagus before roasting, or sprinkle them over the finished dish as a garnish. - Elevate your halibut and asparagus with a flavorful sauce. A simple lemon-butter sauce, made by whisking together melted butter, lemon juice, parsley, and capers, pairs wonderfully with the delicate flavors of the fish and vegetables. - For a more substantial meal, serve the roasted halibut and asparagus with a side of quinoa, rice, or roasted potatoes. A crisp green salad would also be a refreshing accompaniment.
