Braised Halibut with Leeks & Mustard Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by á-4084

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (6 to 8-ounce) skinless halibut fillets, 3/4 to 1-inch thick
salt and black pepper to taste
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound leeks, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced thin, and washed thoroughly
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Sprinkle fish with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Melt butter in 12-inch skillet over low heat. Place fish in skillet, skinned side up, increase heat to medium, and cook, shaking pan occasionally until butter begins to brown, fish should not brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully transfer fish to a large plate, raw side down. Add leeks, mustard, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until leeks begin to soften, 2 to 4 minutes. Add wine and bring to gentle simmer. Place fish, raw side down, on top of leeks. Cover skillet and cook, adjusting heat to maintain a gentle simmer, until fish registers 135 to 140°F, 10 to 14 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and, using 2 spatulas, transfer fish and leeks to serving platter or individual plates. Tent loosely with aluminum foil. Return skillet to high heat and simmer briskly until sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pan from heat, stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over fish and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. We prefer to prepare this recipe with halibut, but a similar firm-fleshed white fish such as striped bass or sea bass that is between 3/4 and 1-inch thick can be substituted. To ensure that your fish cooks evenly, purchase fillets that are similarly shaped and uniformly thick.

The sauce was a bit too thin for my taste. I ended up adding some cornstarch to thicken it up.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I ended up spending over an hour in the kitchen. The dish was good, but I don't think it was worth the effort.

I followed the recipe exactly and the fish came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was a bit too heavy and the fish was a bit too oily. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The flavors in this dish were on point! The mustard added a nice tanginess that complemented the delicate flavor of the halibut. I also loved the addition of the leeks, which added a subtle sweetness. Will definitely make this again!
