Categories     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Halibut     Summer     Cilantro     Parsley     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lemon
2 teaspoons drained capers
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro sprigs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2-inch-thick halibut steaks with skin (about 1 pound total)
Garnish: lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Grate enough zest from lemon to measure 1/2 teaspoon and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice. Chop capers and in a small bowl whisk together with zest, lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Add 1/4 cup oil in a slow stream, whisking constantly until blended. Whisk in herbs.
  • Pat halibut dry and season with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet heat remaining tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook halibut, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 7 minutes total. Serve halibut topped with salsa verde and garnished with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh halibut fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the halibut fillets into even pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Marinate the halibut fillets in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and spices before cooking. This will help to add flavor and moisture to the fish.
  • Cook the halibut fillets until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Make the salsa verde while the halibut fillets are cooking. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Serve the halibut enchiladas immediately, topped with salsa verde and your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Halibut enchiladas with salsa verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The halibut is flaky and moist, the salsa verde is tangy and flavorful, and the enchiladas are cheesy and satisfying. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
