**Seared Halibut with Arugula Gremolata: A Culinary Symphony of Flavors**
Prepare to tantalize your taste buds with a delectable journey into the world of culinary artistry. Seared halibut, a premium fish renowned for its delicate texture and mild flavor, takes center stage in this enticing dish. Perfectly seared to achieve a golden crust while maintaining a tender and flaky interior, the halibut becomes a canvas for a symphony of flavors. A vibrant arugula gremolata, a zesty blend of chopped arugula, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, and olive oil, adds a burst of freshness and herbaceousness to each bite. As you delve deeper into this culinary masterpiece, discover a medley of complementary side dishes that elevate the halibut to new heights. Roasted asparagus, with its slightly charred exterior and tender-crisp texture, provides a delightful contrast to the fish's delicate flesh. Lemon butter sauce, a classic pairing for seafood, offers a rich and tangy accompaniment, while sautéed spinach, with its earthy notes and wilted texture, adds a touch of verdure to the plate.
GRILLED HALIBUT STEAKS ON A BED OF ARUGULA WITH TOMATO SALAD AND GREMOLATA
Steps:
- Make the tomato salad: In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients and set aside.
- Make the gremolata: Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix. Set aside.
- Make the halibut: Place the olive oil and lemon juice in a large baking dish (or you can use a re-sealable baggie). Rinse the fish and pat it dry, season with the salt and pepper. Place the fish in the dish or re-sealable baggie, turning once to coat with the marinade. Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Scatter the clean arugula on a 19-inch round or oval platter. Grill the fish over a medium hot fire for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until the flesh is opaque through to the center. When finished grilling, remove the hot fish immediately to the platter of arugula. Top with the tomato mixture, and sprinkle the gremolata over the top of the tomatoes. Serve immediately.

SEARED HALIBUT WITH ARUGULA GREMOLATA
This recipe is a brilliant way to work both greens and fish into your repertoire. The key player is gremolata, an uncooked green sauce; here made with arugula that gives it a mouthwatering peppery punch that contrasts with tender roasted potatoes, yellow squash, and mild Pacific halibut. The recipe is adapted from Sarah Copeland's book,"Feast."

ITALIAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH MELTED LEEKS
Melted leeks, I find, are one of those preparations that taste super indulgent without really being as such. Cooking down a mountain of leeks with some white wine, butter and herbs into a creamy side dish with just a bit of that beautiful spring onion flavor is like heaven in a skillet. Keeping things light, yet satisfying, I added some mushrooms to the mix and topped it all off with a piece of seared halibut spiked with a cap of classic Italian gremolata. Melted leeks are also a great transition-into-warmer-weather side dish: light and springy, yet satisfying enough for a night's sleep with a bit of chill still stuck on it.

Steps:
- To prepare the melted leeks, place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook, stirring only occasionally, until they're golden brown and beginning to shrink a bit, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and reserve.
- Return the skillet to medium heat with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter. Add the leeks to the pan, season them with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring frequently (don't let them get brown), until they've softened, about 10 minutes. Add the white wine and dried oregano to the skillet along with the reserved mushrooms and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until most of the wine has evaporated, about 5 minutes more. Season as needed with salt and pepper; reserve warm.
- While the leeks are cooking, prepare the gremolata. In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and reserve.
- When the leeks are just about ready, place a second medium skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Season the fish liberally with salt and pepper, and sear it flesh-side down first, turning the fillet only once, until cooked to your liking, about 5 minutes per side for medium (depending on the thickness).
- Serve the melted leeks topped with a piece of fish per plate and a garnish of the gremolata.

Steps:
- Season the fish with the lemon zest, thyme, and parsley. Cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the fish from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking, to bring it to room temperature.
- Heat a large sauté pan over high heat for 2 minutes. (Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook the fish in batches or in two pans.) Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Swirl the regular extra-virgin olive oil into the pan and wait 1 minute. Carefully lay the fish in the pan, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until it's lightly browned. Turn the fish over, lower the heat to medium-low, and cook a few more minutes, until it's almost cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the fish. When it's done, the fish will begin to flake and separate a little, and the center will still be slightly translucent. Remember, the halibut will continue to cook for a bit once you take it out of the pan.
- Scatter half of the arugula over a large platter. Arrange the beets on top, and drizzle with half the horseradish cream. Tuck the rest of the arugula among the beets, so you can see the beets peeking through. Nestle the fish in the salad, and spoon a little horseradish cream over each piece. Drizzle the whole dish with the super-good olive oil and a big squeeze of lemon.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest halibut you can find. Look for fish that is firm and has a mild, slightly briny smell.
- Pat the halibut dry before searing it. This will help the fish to brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or nonstick pan for searing the halibut. This will help to create a crispy crust on the fish.
- Sear the halibut for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish should be opaque and flaky in the center.
- Make the arugula gremolata while the halibut is cooking. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the halibut immediately with the arugula gremolata.
Conclusion:
This seared halibut recipe is a delicious and easy way to prepare this versatile fish. The arugula gremolata adds a bright and herbaceous flavor to the halibut, making it a perfect dish for a summer meal. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
