ROASTED HALIBUT WITH LEMONS, OLIVES AND ROSEMARY



Roasted Halibut With Lemons, Olives and Rosemary image

Fish can be finicky dinner-party fare, especially for the distracted cook. Step away for a moment to sip your cocktail and your fillets might go from pearly to parched. This dish, though, inspired by one from Southern Italy, elegantly feeds a crowd. The fish, halibut, is seasoned with chile, salt and olive oil, then topped with rosemary, lemon and olives and roasted. It's a lighter main dish that won't leave anyone hungry.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (8-ounce) halibut fillets, preferably at least 1-inch thick
1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, more to taste
Kosher salt
Ground chile pepper, preferably Turkish or Aleppo
2 rosemary branches
1 small lemon, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced, pitted calamata or other good-quality black olives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place fish in a baking dish, brush fillets with 1 teaspoon of oil and season with salt and chile pepper. Top each fillet with a rosemary branch and several slices of lemon. Drizzle remaining oil over lemon slices and sprinkle with additional salt. Scatter olives over fish and pan.
  • Bake until just opaque, about 10 minutes. If lemon slices have not browned or singed (this will depend on how thinly you slice them), place pan under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with more olive oil; sprinkle with more salt and chili, if desired.

One-Pan Baked Halibut Recipe with Vegetables image

You'll love this simple baked halibut recipe with colorful vegetables tossed in a citrus and olive oil sauce! Perfect for busy weeknights because it comes together in 20 minutes or less. If you can't find halibut, another white fish like cod, haddock, or red snapper would work well. This sheet pan dinner is a filling meal in one, but if you want to make the most of the zesty Mediterranean-style sauce, serve the halibut and veggies over a bed of barley or bulgur.

Categories     Entree

Number Of Ingredients 13

Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 2 lemons
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
2 teaspoon dill weed

1 pound fresh green beans
1 pound cherry tomatoes
1 large yellow onion, (sliced into half moons)
1 1/2 pound halibut fillet, (slice into 1 1/2-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together. Add the green beans, tomatoes, and onions and toss to coat with the sauce. With a large slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the vegetables to a large baking sheet (21 x 15 x 1 inch baking sheet, for example). Keep the vegetables to one side or one half of the baking sheet and make sure they are spread out in one layer.
  • Now, add the halibut fillet strips to the remaining sauce, toss to coat. Transfer the halibut fillet to the baking sheet next to the vegetables and pour any remaining sauce on top.
  • Lightly sprinkle the halibut and vegetables with a little more seasoned salt.
  • Bake in 425 degrees F heated oven for 15 minutes. Then transfer the baking sheet to the top oven rack and broil for another 3 minutes or so, watching carefully. The cherry tomatoes should begin to pop under the broiler.
  • When ready, remove the baked halibut and vegetables from the oven. Serve immediately.

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.

Provided by Naomi Tomky

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right halibut: Look for halibut steaks or fillets that are thick and firm, with a pearly white or light pink color. Avoid any fish that has a slimy or fishy odor.
  • Prepare the halibut: Rinse the halibut steaks or fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the fish with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Make the breadcrumb topping: In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, lemon zest, parsley, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
  • Assemble the baked halibut: Place the halibut steaks or fillets in a greased baking dish. Top each piece of fish with the breadcrumb mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
  • Bake the halibut: Bake the halibut in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Conclusion:

Italian baked halibut is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The halibut is cooked to perfection and topped with a flavorful breadcrumb mixture. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Here are some additional tips for making the most of this recipe:

  • Serve the halibut with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice are all great options.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice: Before serving, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the halibut for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh parsley, basil, or chives are all great options for garnishing the halibut before serving.
