Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 (8 ounce) steaks halibut
½ cup white wine
1 teaspoon chopped garlic

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the halibut steaks on all sides until nicely browned. Remove from pan, and set aside.

Categories Fish Dinner Halibut Green Bean White Wine Pan-Fry Pescatarian Wheat/Gluten-Free Peanut Free Tree Nut Free Soy Free Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 pound haricots verts or young green or wax beans
Four 7-ounce halibut fillets, each approximately 1 inch thick
Coarse salt and freshly ground white pepper to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/4 cup Sauvignon Blanc or other dry white wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/2 cup unsalted butter
5 scallions, white part only, finely sliced on the bias
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed
1 large, ripe tomato, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice

Steps:

In a pot of boiling salted water set over high heat, cook the haricots verts for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Drain and place them in the center of a large, warm serving platter. Cover and keep warm.
Season the halibut on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for about 3 minutes, until lightly browned. Turn, reduce the heat to medium, and cook about 4 minutes longer, until the fish is opaque in the center and browned on both sides. Put the fish on the platter with the beans and cover to keep warm.
Pour off any oil in the pan and add the wine and lemon juice. Raise the heat to high and deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sauce reduces by half, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and stir in the butter, a piece at a time, to enrich and flavor the sauce. Add the scallions, capers, and tomato. Season with salt and pepper, and pour over the fish on the platter. Serve immediately.

Tips:

Choose the freshest halibut you can find. Fresh halibut will have a mild, sweet flavor and firm, white flesh that flakes easily with a fork.
Sear the halibut over high heat to create a crispy crust. This will help to lock in the fish's natural flavors and prevent it from becoming dry.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the halibut from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease the pan with a little bit of oil.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the halibut will not cook evenly and will likely steam instead of sear.
Cook the halibut until it is just cooked through. Overcooked halibut will be dry and tough.
Serve the halibut immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for halibut include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice.

Conclusion:

Seared halibut with anchovies, capers, and garlic is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The crispy crust on the halibut pairs perfectly with the salty anchovies, tangy capers, and fragrant garlic. This dish is sure to impress your friends and family, and it is also a healthy and nutritious meal.
