GRILLED HALIBUT WITH SAUCE GRIBICHE



Grilled Halibut with Sauce Gribiche image

You might not be familiar with the French sauce gribiche, but it's very tasty and you can make an easy version at home. I think of it as a mix of egg salad and tartar sauce, which makes it perfect for fish in my opinion. Chefs also use gribiche on meats that need zing or to balance out the gaminess of dishes like beef tongue. Most people love salmon, but I really think halibut is the versatile vanilla ice cream of fish. Its mild flavor and meatiness are great for both fish lovers and folks who are undecided.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) white wine vinegar
3 ounces (90 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 5 cornichons, cut into small dice
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) capers
3 hard-boiled eggs (see Cook's Note), peeled and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) chopped parsley
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce (170-gram) skinless halibut fillets, each about 1-inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) extra-virgin olive oil, more to taste

Steps:

  • For the sauce gribiche: Add mustard, vinegar and olive oil in a mini prep food processor. Pulse about 3 to 5 times until emulsified. Add the cornichons, capers and eggs, pulse two more times until the mixture is combined but still chunky and uneven. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the parsley and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Refrigerate until serving.
  • For the halibut: When ready to grill, preheat one side of the grill to high and leave one side cool, creating indirect heat. Season each fillet with salt, pepper and paprika. Drizzle olive oil on top.
  • Place the fillets over the cool side of the grill, close the lid and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes. For more color, you can finish the fish on the hot side for about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with 2 to 3 tablespoons of sauce gribiche on each fillet, or more if you wish.

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.

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pounds golf ball-size baby potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound cipollini onions
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, and more for brushing
1 bunch fresh oregano
1 cup mixed olives, such as Kalamata, Castelvetrano, and Cerignola
1 1/2 pounds halibut steaks or skin-on fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick), preferably Alaskan
1 ciabatta or other rustic loaf, split
Peppery greens, such as arugula and dandelion, for serving

Steps:

  • In a pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches water; generously season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook 8 minutes. Add onions; continue boiling until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife and onions are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes more. Drain; let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, peel onions.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high. In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 cup oil. Chop enough oregano to yield 3 tablespoons (from 2 to 3 sprigs) and stir into vinaigrette with olives; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss potatoes and onions with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Brush fish and remaining oregano sprigs with oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush grates with oil, add vegetables, and grill, turning a few times, 6 minutes. Add fish to grill and top with oregano. Cook fish and vegetables, turning fish once halfway through, until fish is just cooked and vegetables are charred in places and tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Transfer to dish with vinaigrette, turning to evenly coat. Let stand, turning a few times, until no longer hot but still warm, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill split side of bread until charred in places, 1 to 2 minutes; slice. Serve fish, vegetables, and vinaigrette over greens, with grilled bread.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH LEMON-BASIL VINAIGRETTE



Grilled Halibut with Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette image

An easy Grilled Halibut recipe with Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette

Categories     Fish     Low Carb     Low Fat     Low/No Sugar     Lemon     Basil     Halibut     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil or 3 teaspoons dried
2 teaspoons drained capers
4 5- to 6-ounce halibut steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic cloves and grated lemon peel in small bowl to blend. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh basil and capers. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Season halibut steaks with salt and pepper. Brush fish with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette, dividing equally. Grill or broil halibut steaks until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Rewhisk remaining vinaigrette; pour over fish. Garnish fish with remaining 1 tablespoon basil and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest halibut you can find. Ask your fishmonger for recommendations or look for halibut that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a flavorful olive oil for the sauce. A good quality extra virgin olive oil will add a lot of flavor to the sauce, so don't skimp on this ingredient.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. If you're grilling multiple pieces of halibut, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the halibut over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Baste the halibut with the olive sauce while it's cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled halibut with olive sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for summer cookouts. The fish is mild and flaky, while the olive sauce adds a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is also relatively easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights. Serve the grilled halibut with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
