Time 50m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 17

Vegetable oil cooking spray
1 (12-ounce) or 2 (6-ounce) center-cut halibut fillets, skinned
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 loaf ciabatta bread, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and halved
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon capers, drained
Zest of 1 large lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the fish: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a small baking sheet or glass baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Season the halibut on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place on the baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Bake until the fish is cooked through and the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, about 20 minutes.

LEFTOVER HALIBUT SANDWICH RECIPE - (4/5)



Leftover Halibut Sandwich Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by JimMac

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 oz. cooked halibut - flaked by hand then lightly shredded with a fork
1 tbsp celery - finely chopped into little cubes
1 tsp green onion - finely chopped
1 large or 2 medium dill pickles, finely chopped
2 tbsp mayonnaise
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
.

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix them well. Be sure to salt and pepper the spread to suit your taste. For those of you that are squeamish about mayonnaise I recommend blending one tablespoon into the mix at a time. Some folks add a tsp of cider vinegar and a dash or two of garlic powder as well. If you do not have green onions, you can use 1 tsp of any other onion variety or a shallot - just make sure they are finely diced. Serve on crackers or as a sandwich spread. Stays good in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

HALIBUT DIP



Halibut Dip image

Make and share this Halibut Dip recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Midgimoto

Categories     Halibut

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups cooked halibut
1/8 cup banana pepper, finely chopped
2 tablespoons sweet cherry peppers, finely chopped
3 stalks celery, finely diced
3 scallions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon dill pickle, finely diced
1/2-3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. The amount of mayo used will depend on the amount of fish you have, and how moist it is. So, start with a small amount, such as ¼ cup and add more until you get your desired consistency. This is NOT a creamy-like salad with mayo. The mayo binds the dip, but doesn't mask the flavor of the halibut.
  • Serve with crackers and veggies. I particularly like to stuff celery with it. But, I'm weird like that.
  • HINT: Halibut is a delicate fish and doesn't take a long time to cook. A simple method - Preheat oven to 400, salt and pepper fish on both sides, place in oiled pan to prevent sticking. Cook 15 - 20 minutes, depending on how thick the fish is. Fish should be moist, flaky and opaque. If it is still a bit translucent, cook an addition 1 -2 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the Best Flavor: Use fresh, high-quality halibut fillets. If you can't find halibut, you can substitute another firm white fish, such as cod, pollock, or tilapia.
  • Make Ahead: The halibut spread can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the halibut spread on crackers, crostini, or bagel chips. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or a dip for vegetables.
  • Variations: Add your favorite herbs, spices, or vegetables to the halibut spread. Some popular additions include dill, chives, red onion, celery, and capers.

Conclusion:

Halibut spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a quick lunch, this spread is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give halibut spread a try.
