ROASTED HALIBUT WITH FRESH HERB SAUCE



Roasted Halibut With Fresh Herb Sauce image

Halibut with herb sauce dares to bring fish that's not smoked to the brunch table. Created by husband-and-wife team, Gayle Pirie and John Clark, of San Francisco's Zuni Cafe, when they resolved to rescue what they saw as an unloved meal from its second-class status. They accomplished this feat in part by moving beyond eggs. While this dish doesn't shout Christmas any more than it does brunch, it's ideal for the holidays: easy to prepare, perfect to serve to large groups and crafted to make the most of comforting seasonal ingredients. Match this simple, mild fish with a light, fresh and fruity white like the fragrant 1998 Antinori Galestro or the 1998 Anselmi Soave San Vincenzo. MAKE AHEAD The sauce can be refrigerated for several hours.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH MUSSEL BUTTER SAUCE



Roasted Halibut With Mussel Butter Sauce image

This is a stunning seafood main course that needs only a side dish, such as braised fennel or orzo salad, and some crusty bread served alongside for a delicious dinner party. Halibut is a mild yet buttery and rich fish with firm, meaty flesh. Here, the fish is wrapped in seaweed, which imparts subtle sea flavor and keeps the fish tender and juicy while it roasts. Mussels are steamed open in a bath of clam juice and kelp broth, releasing their flavorful juices into the liquid, which becomes a silky sauce. Earthy saffron adds depth and beautiful color, and just enough butter and cream round out the sauce without making it too heavy. For a festive presentation, top the fish with vibrant salmon roe, which look like jewels and offer pops of brininess.

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ounces dried kelp (dashima or kombu; see Tip)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 (2 1/2-pound) skinless halibut or cod fillet (1-inch thick; see Tip)
Kosher salt
1 (8-ounce) bottle clam juice
3 dozen mussels, cleaned (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon saffron, crumbled
2 small shallots, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon, plus small leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine kelp with 4 cups of cool water and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of the kelp water.
  • On a lightly greased rimmed sheet pan, arrange half of the softened kelp in the center, allowing excess water to drip off kelp and slightly overlapping the pieces. (Do not squeeze water out of the kelp). Rub halibut with 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt. Set halibut in the center of the kelp and lift kelp over the sides of the fish. It should stick to the fish. Top halibut with the remaining kelp, slightly overlapping, and tuck the kelp loosely underneath the fish to enclose it.
  • Roast halibut until just opaque in the center, about 15 minutes. A metal cake tester or skewer inserted in the center of the fish should feel warm to the touch. Transfer wrapped halibut to a serving platter.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot, combine clam juice and the reserved kelp water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add mussels, cover and cook until mussels open, 2 to 3 minutes; begin checking mussels at 2 minutes and transfer them to a bowl as they open (discard any that do not open). Tent with foil to keep warm. Pour mussel broth into a separate bowl, leaving behind any grit in the pot, and reserve the broth. Rinse out pot to remove any grit.
  • Combine 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice with the saffron in a small bowl and mix well. In the rinsed pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved mussel broth (and any juice that has drained from the mussels) and saffron-lemon juice, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently to allow flavors to meld, about 5 minutes. Discard garlic.
  • While whisking constantly, add butter 1 tablespoon at a time, blending in each addition before adding the next. Then, whisk in heavy cream. Gently simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley and tarragon, and season with salt. You should have about 2 cups of sauce.
  • Remove the top layer of kelp to reveal halibut. You can serve the kelp to eat with the fish or discard it. Arrange mussels around halibut, removing the top shells for easier eating if you'd like. Spoon some sauce over the mussels and fish, and garnish with parsley and tarragon.
  • To serve, divide the fish and mussels among plates. Garnish with more parsley and tarragon. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

HALIBUT WITH CREAMY GARLIC AND HERB SAUCE

This fresh dish is sure to please at your next dinner party! The red pepper flakes add a little kick, and toasted almonds add a delicious crunch. I like to serve this with orzo pasta or rice pilaf.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 (6 ounce) halibut fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 sprigs cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons butter
4 green onions, finely chopped
¼ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup half-and-half cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
  • Rub the halibut fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish, then press the cilantro leaves onto the top of the halibut. Bake the halibut in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine, and season with dill and tarragon. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the chicken broth, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then dissolve the flour into the water, and stir into the boiling sauce. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the halibut to serve.

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.

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.

HALIBUT ROASTED WITH GARLIC-PARSLEY BUTTER



Halibut Roasted with Garlic-Parsley Butter image

It takes a very hot oven to roast this fish, and the results are incredible! The halibut is gently browned on the outside. You'd never be able to accomplish this "blast of hot air" in a conventional oven because the circulating heat hits everything at one time. Sometimes I add a few baby potatoes, scrubbed and quartered, or a quartered fennel bulb, tossed in melted butter and scattered around the fish. They'll be done at the same time as the halibut.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 1 1/2-pound halibut fillet, thawed if frozen
8 tablespoons (1 stick) melted butter
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Position the oven racks so that the top rack is 5 to 6 inches from the top of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 500°F. Cover a shallow-rimmed roasting pan with foil and coat with nonstick spray.
  • Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Center it on the pan. Mix the butter, parsley, and garlic together. Brush the fish on both sides with the mixture.
  • Roast the fish for 10 minutes, until it flakes when tested with a fork. Brush with any remaining butter mixture and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer it to a warm serving platter.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm halibut fillets. Look for fillets that are opaque in color and have a mild, briny smell.
  • Roast the halibut at a high temperature to get a crispy crust. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) before roasting the halibut.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or sauce to add extra flavor to the halibut. A simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs is a great option.
  • Serve the halibut with a variety of sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice are all great options.
  • Enjoy the halibut immediately. Halibut is best when served fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Roasted halibut with fresh herb sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and it is also low in calories and fat. The fresh herb sauce adds a bright and flavorful touch to the halibut, making it a truly unforgettable dish.
