ROASTED GARLIC AND PARMESAN BAKED HALIBUT



Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Baked Halibut image

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.

Categories     Halibut     Fish     Seafood     Garlic     Parmesan

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 garlic head
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pound halibut, skin removed, in 4 even fillets
Kosher salt, as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

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.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 generous servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds halibut fillets (preferably Alaskan), skin removed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt or Essence, divided
1 teaspoon pepper, divided
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
Vegetable oil, for pan-frying
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Rinse fillets and pat dry. Use 3 shallow dishes to prepare your breading ingredients. In the first dish, mix the flour with 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt or Essence and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Break the eggs into the second dish and beat well. In the third dish, mix the panko with the remaining seasoned salt or Essence, pepper, and dried herbs.
  • Heat 1/4-inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Bread each fillet by dipping first in the flour mix, then the eggs, then the panko, coating thoroughly with each layer. Place carefully in the hot oil. (Don't crowd the skillet; work in batches if needed.) Cook 2 to 4 minutes on each side (time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.) Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 1-pound eggplant, unpeeled, trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound plum tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 small zucchini, trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons herbes de Provence*
1 12-ounce halibut fillet
2 cups medium-size pasta shells

Roast vegetables until tender, stirring occasionally, about 35 minutes. Push vegetables to sides of sheet. Place fish in center of sheet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until just opaque in center, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Return pasta to pot. Add roasted vegetables and enough reserved pasta cooking water to pasta to moisten; toss. Cut fish into 1/2-inch pieces; add to pasta and toss gently. Season with salt and pepper.
  • *A dried herb mixture available at specialty foods stores and some supermarkets.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Ensure all ingredients are measured, prepped, and ready before you begin cooking.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs provide a more vibrant flavor compared to dried ones. If unavailable, use half the amount of dried herbs.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the halibut, ensure there's enough space between each fillet to allow even cooking and a crispy crust.
  • Cook the ratatouille until tender: The vegetables should be soft but still retain their shape. Adjust the cooking time if needed.
  • Serve immediately: Both the halibut and ratatouille are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

The herb and garlic-crusted halibut with oven-baked ratatouille is a delightful dish that combines the delicate flavors of the sea and the vibrant colors of fresh vegetables.
