Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 37

2 pounds halibut, cut into 4 (8 ounce) portions
2 cups macadamia nuts, roughly chopped in a food processor
1 pinch cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 large eggs, whites only
4 tablespoons canola oil
Rice, recipe follows
Salsa, recipe follows
Ponzu Sauce, recipe follows
Asparagus, recipe follows
Garlic Chips, recipe follows
2 cup glutinous rice (soaked 24 hours in refrigerator)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1 cup coconut milk
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Sugar, to taste
1/3 cup each: pineapple, mango, and papaya, medium dice
1 tablespoon jalapeno, finely chopped
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup shallots, sliced
2 tablespoons garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup ponzu
2 tablespoons Mirin
2 cups dashi, recipe follows
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon miso
2 dozen medium asparagus, tough ends removed
Garlic oil, reserved from garlic chips
Salt and black pepper, to taste
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 cup canola oil
1 piece kelp (1 by 1/2 inch)
2 cups bonito flakes
3 1/2 cups water

Steps:

  • Lay the 4 pieces of halibut on a clean work surface. Season each piece with the salt, pepper, and cayenne. Using a brush, quickly spread a thin layer of the egg whites on top of the fish and then sprinkle over the chopped macadamia nuts. Press the nuts into the fish to secure. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a large saute pan coated with the oil to medium heat. Place 2 pieces (or 4 if the pan is big enough) of the fish, macadamia side-down, in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, until the macadamias are golden brown. Flip the fish and cook for another 3 minutes. Repeat the process with the 2 remaining pieces of fish. Place all 4 pieces of fish in a baking dish and cook in the oven for another 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Form the Rice into a small flat disk in the center of the plate. Spoon some of the Salsa on top of the rice. Lean the fish against the rice and drizzle the sauce around the plate. Place the Asparagus against the fish and garnish with the Garlic Chips.
  • In a large bowl filled with water, soak the rice for 24 hours in the refrigerator. Fit a colander or steamer lined with leaves (lotus, banana, Napa) inside of a large stockpot filled with water and add the rice to the colander. Make sure that the water is not touching the colander. Steam the rice for about 25 to 30 minutes. When the rice is soft, remove it from the colander and place it into a large mixing bowl. Add the coconut flakes and milk to the rice and season with the salt, pepper, and sugar. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the pineapple, mango, papaya, jalapeno, lime juice, and red onion. Toss gently and season with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare a saute pan over medium heat. Sweat the shallots, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the butter, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the ponzu, mirin, dashi, salt, and pepper and allow to boil. Remove from heat and pour in a blender. Add the miso, blend and add the remaining tablespoon of butter.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In an oven proof saute pan, combine the asparagus, garlic oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the asparagus are tender.
  • Prepare a saucepan over high heat and add the oil and the garlic. When the garlic becomes golden brown, remove from the heat. Strain the garlic and reserve both the garlic and the oil.
  • Wipe the kelp with a damp towel and then place it into a medium sized pot filled with water. Heat the water just before boiling, remove the pot from the heat, and remove the kelp. Place the bonito flakes in the water and allow them to settle to the bottom of the pot. Strain out the bonito flakes.

MACADEMIA CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH QUICK LEMON BUTTER CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)



Macademia Crusted Halibut with Quick Lemon Butter Cream Sauce Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by finetuned

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the sauce:
1 cup roasted salted macadamia nuts
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp. dried parsley
2 tbsp. melted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 egg whites, lightly beaten
4-6 boneless skinless halibut filets
8tbsp butter (1 stick)
1/4 cup heavy cream
Juice of 1 large lemon

Steps:

  • 1. Chop the macadamia nuts in a food process until minced. In a medium bowl, combine the nuts, breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, a pinch of salt & pepper, and the melted butter. Gently toss with a fork until everything is evenly coated in butter. 2. Line 3 pie plates or flat open dishes in a row on your working space. Place the flour in dish #1. Place the beaten egg whites in dish #2. Place the nut/breadcrumb mixture in dish #3. Place a large cookie sheet at the end of the line. 3. Dip each halibut filet one at a time into the flour. Shake off the excess flour and gently turn over inside the egg whites to coat. Let the excess egg drip off and then place into the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spoon to cover and coat the fish with the breadcrumbs. Be sure to coat the top, bottom, and all sides. Gently transfer the coated fish to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining fillets. 4. Store the fish in the fridge until you are ready to cook dinner. Up to 8 hours ahead of time. FOR A CRISPY COATING: Remove the fish from the fridge when you start to preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Let it slowly come to room temperature while the oven heats. 5. Transfer the fish to a clean room-temperature baking sheet just before placing it in the oven. (If the pan is chilled, the fish will steam and the bottoms will be soggy.) 6. Bake the halibut for 15 - 20 minutes until opaque and flaky. TO PREPARE THE SAUCE: 1. While the fish bakes, melt the butter over medium heat in a medium-sized sauce pan. Add the cream and lemon juice and whisk to combine. Add a pinch of salt & pepper to taste. Heat until slightly thickened and keep warm over low heat until the fish is ready. 2. Serve the lemon butter cream sauce in a small pitcher for drizzling over the fish at the table or the crust on the fish will get soggy.

MACADAMIA-CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH MANGO CREAM SAUCE RECIPE



Macadamia-Crusted Halibut with Mango Cream Sauce Recipe image

Provided by Laken

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I did not have any, so I used pretzels)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch red pepper flakes
egg white of 1 egg
1 pound fresh Halibut (portioned)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine macadamia nuts, bread crumbs (Pretzels), 1 teaspoon olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Process until smooth. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season fish with salt and black pepper. Using a brush, spread a thin layer of the egg whites on top of the fish and then sprinkle over the chopped macadamia nut mixture. You kind of have to smash it into the fish. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and crushed garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear Halibut, macadamia side down, cook 3-4 minutes (if your oil is popping and going crazy, turn your heat down a bit), then turn over and sear the other side for 3 minutes. I use my handy fish spatula, that "Santa" brought me for Christmas. Once the fish is seared, place fish in a baking dish and cook in the oven for another 10-12 minutes. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine mango, cream, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened. This sauce is a little tart, but it compliments the sweet coconut rice very well. I put the sauce into the blender to make it smooth, I think you taste more mango flavor if you blend it. However, you can leave it as is.

GRILLED PACIFIC HALIBUT WITH MANGO SALSA



Grilled Pacific Halibut With Mango Salsa image

This sweet and spicy salsa goes beautifully with a firm, white fish like halibut. Make sure your mango is very ripe. Mangos are a good source of potassium, vitamin A and beta-carotene. You would think that such a sweet fruit would be high in calories, but because of all the water in a juicy mango, the caloric content is relatively low - about 135 calories in a whole mango, according to nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large, ripe mango
2 serrano chiles, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup finely diced jicama
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
4 6-ounce Pacific halibut fillets or steaks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 limes, cut in wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Finely dice the mango. Cut down the broad side of the mango, slightly off center, from the stem end to the tip end. The knife should scrape against the side of the pit. Repeat on the other side, cutting as close to the pit as possible. Cut the flesh from the sides of the pit, following the curve of the pit. Lay each half on your cutting surface, and score with the tip of your knife in a cross-hatch pattern, down to the skin but not through it. Turn the mango half inside out, and slice the cubes away from the skin. Then cut the cubes into very small dice.
  • Toss the mango in a bowl with the chiles, cilantro, mint, jicama and lime juice. Season with salt if desired. Cover the bowl, and allow to sit for an hour while you prepare your grill.
  • Heat a medium-hot grill (or heat an indoor griddle or grill pan). Season the halibut fillets or steaks with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the fish directly over the coals, and grill for four to five minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should be opaque all the way through, and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
  • Remove the fish to a plate or a platter. Serve with the salsa spooned partially over the fish and partially on the side. Alternately, spoon the salsa onto plates and set the fish on top. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.
