Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- In a wide sauté pan, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over high heat until it just starts to smoke. Add the porcini in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, until the mushrooms are nicely roasted. Remove them and drain excess oil. In a wide saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat until it foams. Add the onion and garlic, and sweat them until soft and translucent. Deglaze the pan with Madeira and reduce by one-third. Add the bay leaf and the roasted mushrooms and stir to combine. Heat the heavy cream in another saucepan until warm, and add it to the mushrooms. Simmer until the flavors are blended and the cream is reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a wide sauté pan, and add the shallots and thyme. Cook until the shallots are softened and translucent. Add the morel mushrooms and toss to coat with the shallots. Cook until the morels are slightly wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Toss in the fava beans and warm through. Season the fish on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the grill is hot, brush with oil, and place the fish presentation-side down. Cook, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are cooked through. Spoon the warmed porcini crema among 4 plates, then top with a halibut fillet. Spoon the morels and fava beans over the fish. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

Steps:
- Place a very large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the New Mexican chiles, Thai bird chiles, ancho chiles, porcini mushrooms, garlic, red onions, lemongrass, peppercorns, bay leaves, 2 big pinches salt, and the white wine. Add the bones, head and tail from the fish and cover with about 2-inches cold water over the bones. Bring to a simmer for about 30 minutes, skimming occasionally to remove any impurities that float to the top.
- Place the halibut scraps into the chilled food processor bowl with a bit pinch of salt and pulse to blend to a similar size. Be careful not to over process because the food processor does create heat and the fish will get tough. Add the egg whites and pulse to combine. Add about 3 to 4 ounces heavy cream and blend to combine. Add a touch more heavy cream if needed; you are looking for a fluffy mousse or mashed potato consistency. Pour the mixture into a clean bowl and place back over an ice bath to keep chilled. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to shape into quenelles.
- Remove some of the broth and add to a high sides saute pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Using 2 large metal spoons form the fish into quenelles and place onto a hotel pan or baking sheet covered in plastic wrap for easy removal. Add the fish quenelles to the gently simmering broths and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until they are cooked through.
- For plating: (1 serving)
- Place a coffee filter over a wire mesh strainer over a bowl and add 4 to 5 cups broth. Allow to strain through, pushing with a spoon if needed.
- To a French press, add the kaffir lime leaves, star anise, cinnamon stick and pour over the strained broth. Allow the mixture to steep, about 2 minutes. Press and taste for seasoning.
- Place 1 of the cooked quenelles into the middle of a serving bowl. Top each with some of the mushrooms, chervil, chiles, and lime zest. Pour the broth over the quenelle.

ROASTED GARLIC AND PARMESAN BAKED HALIBUT
Fish can be intimidating for those who didn't grow up cooking or eating it. One of the best ways to ease people into eating anything unfamiliar is by smothering it in roasted garlic and cheese. Forget the old Italian maxim of not mixing seafood and cheese: they pair magically and make first forays into cooking and eating halibut easy to execute and even easier to eat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
- Cut off the top of the head of garlic and brush off some of the outer paper skin, leaving just the individually wrapped cloves. On a piece of foil, pour the olive oil over the garlic, then wrap the foil around it and place it in the oven for 45 minutes, until it's completely soft. For the recipe, you'll only need six cloves from the head, but it's worth making a whole head to keep the rest for spreading on crusty bread or adding to salads.
- Raise the oven temperature to 425˚F.
- Heat the butter in an oven-proof pan over low heat. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. When the butter is melted, add the halibut and put it into the oven for 10 minutes. The fish should be just cooked and opaque throughout.
- While the halibut cooks, blend or food process together six cloves of garlic, the mayonnaise, and parmesan. When the halibut is done, pull it out and generously smear the mayonnaise mixture on the top. Switch the oven to a high broil and return the pan to the still-hot oven for 4 minutes under the broiler, until the top is almost entirely golden brown.
- Remove and serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure the halibut cooks evenly, ensure the fish fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to carefully slice thicker portions of the fillets to achieve a consistent thickness.
- For a flavorful and crispy crust on the halibut, make sure to pat the fillets dry before searing. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the fish from steaming.
- When searing the halibut, do not overcrowd the pan. Otherwise, the fish will not sear properly and will instead steam. Cook the fish in batches if necessary.
- To prevent the porcini mushrooms from becoming tough, avoid overcooking them. Sauté them until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- If you cannot find porcini mushrooms, you can substitute another type of wild mushroom, such as chanterelles or morels. However, porcini mushrooms have a unique flavor that pairs particularly well with halibut.
- To achieve a creamy and flavorful sauce, use a good quality white wine and heavy cream. Simmer the sauce until it has slightly thickened and reduced, allowing the flavors to develop.
- When pairing wine with halibut, consider a light-bodied white wine with bright acidity, such as a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. These wines will complement the delicate flavor of the halibut without overpowering it.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Halibut Porcini Crema with Barbaresco combines the delicate flavor of halibut with the earthy notes of porcini mushrooms and the creamy richness of a white wine sauce. The dish is complemented by a glass of Barbaresco, a light-bodied red wine with bright acidity. With its elegant flavors and beautiful presentation, this dish is perfect for a special occasion dinner.
