Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (6-ounce) halibut steak
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 head frisee, chopped
1 cup arugula, chopped
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 fennel bulb, stalk removed, halved, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the halibut: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the halibut with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let the fish rest for a few minutes then cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • For the salad: In a large bowl, combine the frisee, arugula, tomatoes, chickpeas, and fennel. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, cumin, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the salad and toss to combine. Top with fish and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest halibut possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Pat the halibut dry before cooking. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a nonstick skillet to cook the halibut. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking and breaking apart.
  • Cook the halibut over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Baste the halibut with butter or oil while it is cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the halibut immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried halibut is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The fish is cooked to perfection and the spiced chickpea and herb salad adds a delicious and healthy touch. This recipe is a great way to enjoy fresh halibut and it is sure to become a new favorite.
