GRILLED HALIBUT WITH FENNEL, RED ONIONS AND OREGANO



Grilled Halibut with Fennel, Red Onions and Oregano image

This dish is fast, healthy and combines a Sicilian favorite combo of mine: oranges, red onions and oregano. Fennel is a winter favorite, but in most markets it is available year round and in my family we used it as a digestive during big meals throughout the year.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6-ounce) halibut filets
Extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons plus some for drizzling
Salt and pepper
Crusty bread, cut into thick slices
1 orange
1 bulb fennel, quartered, core removed, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, a couple of splashes
Handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves, 2 sprigs

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat.

  • To preheated skillet add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, the fennel and onions, season with salt and pepper and cook 3 to 5 minutes until seared and beginning to soften. Add vinegar to the pan and give it a shake. Remove from heat and toss in the oranges, the parsley and oregano. Adjust seasoning and serve salad on dinner plates topped with fish, and seasoned bread alongside.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Four 6- to 8-ounce skin-on halibut fillets
6 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for grilling and drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces on-the-vine cherry or cocktail tomatoes
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn
Flaky salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  • Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a large platter and set aside. Pat the skin of the halibut dry with a paper towel and then brush the fillets all over with olive oil. Season the flesh generously with salt and pepper.
  • Oil the grill grates and put the cherry tomatoes and fish skin-side down on the grill. Cover and let cook until the tomatoes are charred and starting to split, about 5 minutes, depending on the ripeness of the tomatoes and the heat from your grill. Cook the halibut until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the fish skin-side down to the platter with the sliced tomatoes.
  • Put the cherry tomatoes in a blender, discarding the vine, and add the olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Blend until smooth, then stir in half the chives and basil. Spoon the tomato vinaigrette over the fish and tomatoes. Drizzle everything with some more olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining chives and basil. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.

GRILLED PACIFIC HALIBUT WITH MANGO SALSA



Grilled Pacific Halibut With Mango Salsa image

This sweet and spicy salsa goes beautifully with a firm, white fish like halibut. Make sure your mango is very ripe. Mangos are a good source of potassium, vitamin A and beta-carotene. You would think that such a sweet fruit would be high in calories, but because of all the water in a juicy mango, the caloric content is relatively low - about 135 calories in a whole mango, according to nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large, ripe mango
2 serrano chiles, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup finely diced jicama
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
4 6-ounce Pacific halibut fillets or steaks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 limes, cut in wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Finely dice the mango. Cut down the broad side of the mango, slightly off center, from the stem end to the tip end. The knife should scrape against the side of the pit. Repeat on the other side, cutting as close to the pit as possible. Cut the flesh from the sides of the pit, following the curve of the pit. Lay each half on your cutting surface, and score with the tip of your knife in a cross-hatch pattern, down to the skin but not through it. Turn the mango half inside out, and slice the cubes away from the skin. Then cut the cubes into very small dice.
  • Toss the mango in a bowl with the chiles, cilantro, mint, jicama and lime juice. Season with salt if desired. Cover the bowl, and allow to sit for an hour while you prepare your grill.
  • Heat a medium-hot grill (or heat an indoor griddle or grill pan). Season the halibut fillets or steaks with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the fish directly over the coals, and grill for four to five minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should be opaque all the way through, and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
  • Remove the fish to a plate or a platter. Serve with the salsa spooned partially over the fish and partially on the side. Alternately, spoon the salsa onto plates and set the fish on top. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH CITRUS SALSA



Pan-Seared Halibut with Citrus Salsa image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 blood orange
1 tangerine
1 cup diced avocado
1/3 cup finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
Four 6-ounce halibut fillets

Steps:

  • Using a paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the orange and tangerine. Working over a large bowl, carefully cut between the membranes to release the citrus segments, allowing them to fall into the bowl along with any juices. Add the avocado, onions, cilantro and lime zest and juice to the bowl with the citrus. Gently toss to mix. Season the salsa with salt and pepper.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the halibut liberally with salt and pepper. Add the halibut to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the halibut to serving plates, top with salsa and serve.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH TOMATO-BASIL SALSA



Grilled Halibut With Tomato-Basil Salsa image

This is an easy fish recipe with light, bright flavors. You can use any mild flavored, firm, white fish; but halibut is my favorite with this. Watch the fish carefully as it cooks, if you overcook it, it will be rubbery. Make sure that the tomato you choose is fully ripe- this will not come out tasting right with under ripe tomatoes.

Provided by IngridH

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 medium tomatoes, cored seeded and diced
1/2 ounce basil leaves, sliced into ribbons (about 5 large leaves)
8 ounces halibut fillets
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Add the tomatoes and basil, stirring gently to combine. Set aside while you cook the fish.
  • Preheat your grill to medium high.
  • If your fish has skin on it, season the flesh side with salt and pepper. If it has no skin, place the fish on a folded piece of aluminum foil, large enough to hold the fish in one flat layer, coated with cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the fish on the grill, skin/foil side down. Cook until the fish flakes with a fork, or is barely opaque in the middle. It should still look a little wet in the center.
  • Remove the flesh from the skin (I just leave the skin on the grill and burn it off) or the foil, and place on a serving platter. Stir the salsa, then drizzle over the fish. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest halibut you can find. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a grill basket to cook the halibut. This will help to keep the fish from sticking to the grill and will make it easier to flip.
  • Cook the halibut over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Baste the halibut with melted butter or olive oil during cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the halibut with a variety of dipping sauces. Some good options include tartar sauce, lemon-herb butter, or a simple vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

Grilled halibut is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can cook halibut that is perfectly cooked and full of flavor. So next time you're looking for a light and easy summer meal, give grilled halibut a try!
