PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH BLOOD ORANGE BUTTER SAUCE



Pan-Seared Halibut with Blood Orange Butter Sauce image

Although I ate my first blood orange quite simply, I've since experimented with other preparations. This lovely butter sauce is wonderful over grilled or pan-seared fish--halibut, salmon, striped bass or snapper especially.

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 10 pieces
1 large shallot, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 cup blood orange juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 6- to 8-ounce wild halibut fillets, each about 1 inch thick
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons pomegranate arils

Steps:

  • For the blood orange butter sauce: Melt 2 pieces of the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the orange juice; stir to combine and simmer on medium-low heat until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 8 pieces of butter, one piece at a time, whisking constantly, until each is fully incorporated. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
  • For the pan-seared halibut: Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a stainless-steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the fish in the skillet, skin-side down, allowing at least 2 inches between the fillets. Cook until the skin is crispy and the fish releases from the pan easily, about 3 minutes. Season the skinless side of the fish with a pinch of salt and pepper, then flip and cook until the fish is just opaque in the center, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Place a few spoonfuls of the Blood Orange Butter Sauce over the fish. Sprinkle with the pomegranate arils and serve.

This fresh dish is sure to please at your next dinner party! The red pepper flakes add a little kick, and toasted almonds add a delicious crunch. I like to serve this with orzo pasta or rice pilaf. This dish can also be made with fat-free half and half and low-sodium chicken broth for healthier options.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest halibut you can find. Fresh halibut should be firm to the touch and have a mild, slightly sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a good-quality shrimp sauce. The shrimp sauce is the key to this dish, so it's important to use a good-quality one. Look for a sauce that is made with fresh shrimp and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcook the halibut. Halibut is a delicate fish, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the halibut until it is just cooked through, or it will become tough and dry.
  • Serve the halibut with your favorite sides. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

This halibut with shrimp sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The halibut is cooked to perfection and the shrimp sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
