FRESH HALIBUT STEAMED IN SWISS CHARD WITH THAI CURRY CREAM



Fresh Halibut Steamed in Swiss Chard with Thai Curry Cream image

One of the most interesting food tours you can take is down the aisles of an Asian and especially Southeast Asian grocery store. There are all kinds of strange, exotic ingredients that generally are inexpensive and certainly worth a try. Over the years I've shopped in a couple of stores fairly regularly and have just been amazed at the diversity of products available, especially curry pastes. They come in every color and flavor imaginable, are delicious and very different from Indian curries. The curry paste I like best for this dish is one called Massaman curry, a red curry. I encourage you to try them all and use your favorite mixture.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 (5-ounce) portions fresh halibut cut 3/4-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
12 to 16 large chard leaves, tough center rib removed
2 cups sliced oyster mushrooms
2/3 cup finely sliced scallions
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup rich fish or mushroom stock
Thai Curry Cream (recipe follows)
Garnish: Cilantro sprigs and finely sliced, deep-fried leeks (white part only)

Steps:

  • Season halibut lightly with salt, pepper and lime zest and set aside. Blanch chard leaves in lightly salted water for 5 to 10 seconds until softened and then immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking and set color. Pat dry and wrap halibut pieces completely with leaves.
  • To serve: Add mushrooms, scallions and olive oil to an oven-proof saute pan large enough to hold fish in one layer. Saute mushroom mixture until its just beginning to color. Place wrapped fish on top of mushroom mixture, add the wine and stock and cover. Finish cooking fish on top of stove over moderate heat or in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish is cooked through. With a spatula, lift fish and its mushroom bed and place attractively on warm plates. Pour sauce around and garnish with cilantro sprigs and deep fried leeks on top of wrapped fish.

Add fish and shrimp to curry sauce. Return to very gentle simmer and cook just until fish and shrimp are opaque in center, 5 to 6 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently stir in cilantro and basil; serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

- To ensure the freshness of your halibut, purchase it from a reputable fishmonger or seafood market. Look for firm, bright-eyed fish with no off-odors. - If you're using frozen halibut, thaw it thoroughly before cooking. Place the frozen fish in a colander or strainer set over a bowl in the refrigerator overnight. This will allow the fish to thaw slowly and evenly. - Be gentle when handling the halibut, as it is a delicate fish that can easily break apart. - Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the halibut before cooking. This will help the fish cook more evenly and prevent it from curling up. - Don't overcook the halibut, as it will become tough and dry. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. - Serve the halibut immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Fresh Halibut Steamed in Swiss Chard with Thai Curry Cream is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish.
