Best 6 Light And Crispy Fried Halibut Recipes

LIGHT AND CRISPY FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs, milk, and flour together in a shallow bowl. Stir panko bread crumbs and seasoned bread crumbs together in another bowl.
• Gently dip halibut squares into egg mixture, the press gently into bread crumbs mixture to generously coat completely. Place breaded halibut in a single layer on a plate while breading the rest.
• Cook halibut in preheated oil until golden brown and crisp on the outside, 4 to 6 minutes.

SECRET FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Cut halibut into portion size pieces (this will vary with every family); set aside.
• In gallon ziplock bag combine all dry ingredients; seal bag and shake to mix. Add halibut pieces to dry ingredients and shake thoroughly again.
• In small bowl combine mayonnaise and mustard; mix thoroughly (secret ingredient!).
• Add some oil to skillet over med heat until oil begins to ripple. You will need to add more oil in small amounts at a time throughout cooking.
• Add halibut a few pieces at a time to skillet until full. DO NOT OVERLAP FISH. Cook until just beginning to brown on bottom side and flip. Once turned, lightly baste browned side of fish with mayonnaise mixture. Turn fish once more and repeat basting. The key to this step is to re brown basted sides of fish before removing from pan. The pieces should turn a deep brown (not black but close). That is when you know they are done.
• Serve while still hot. (May be kept in warm oven until all fish is done).

CRISPY FRIED ALASKA HALIBUT

Steps:

• Pat dry the halibut fillets and sprinkle all over with salt. Let rest in the fridge for an hour.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, fennel, baking powder, crushed red pepper, white pepper and salt. Slowly add the ice-cold sparkling water and optional vodka. Mix until smooth and the consistency resembles heavy cream.
• Fill a large, wide, heavy bottomed pot with oil about halfway. As a precaution, never fill your pot to the top, and always leave room for the oil to bubble up. Heat the oil to 370F.
• Dip each piece of fish into the batter one by one, lifting gently and allowing excess batter to drip completely, before carefully placing the battered fish into the hot oil. When placing the halibut into the oil, try to hold the fish and drag it back and forth through the oil for a few seconds before releasing it, allowing the batter to set. This will prevent the fish from sinking to the bottom and sticking. When the batter is golden and crispy the fish will be moist, succulent, and perfectly cooked.
• Immediately transfer the fish to a wire rack or paper towel to whisk away any excess oil. Dust with extra fennel and crushed red pepper and splash with malt vinegar before serving.
• Place the egg yolks, Sambuca, lemon juice, sugar and salt in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Whisk vigorously for 5-8 minutes until the eggs are cooked, aerated, and frothy. Remove the bowl from the heat and fold in the chives and parsley. Adjust the seasoning to your liking.

PAN FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Whisk egg in a small bowl.
• Combine flour, herbes de Provence, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a separate small bowl.
• Cut halibut into 4 equal pieces.
• Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat.
• Dip each piece of halibut in whisked egg.
• Dredge all sides of each piece in flour mixture to evenly coat; tap off excess flour.
• Place coated pieces immediately in the hot olive oil.
• Cook the halibut until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; turn and cook until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, another 2 minutes.

EASY PAN-FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Combine butter, honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Portion halibut by cutting it into 3 or 4 pieces with a sharp knife. Set aside a little of the marinade and brush each side of the halibut with the remaining butter-honey mixture.
• Heat a skillet over high heat until it is sizzling hot - test by adding a drop of water to the skillet. If it sizzles and immediately evaporates when it hits the skillet, it is hot enough. Sear halibut for 90 seconds on each side. Reduce heat to medium and cook each side until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with reserved butter-honey marinade.
