Andreas Viestads Norwegian Baked Halibut With Herbs And Rosemar Recipes

BAKED HALIBUT WITH WINE AND HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a medium gratin dish or baking dish, make a bed of herbs with the thyme, parsley and bay leaves, scatter the garlic on top. Reserve 4 parsley sprigs, for garnish. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper and lay on top of the herbs. Add in the vermouth, and drizzle 2 tablespoons of the oil over the fish, cover loosely with foil. Bake until the fish is opaque, about 20 to 22 minutes.
• Carefully, pour the pan juices into a small saucepan and set the fish aside. Keep the garlic and 4 thyme sprigs for garnish. Bring the sauce to a boil, over high heat, reduce by about 1/2, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside. De-bone the fish; running a spoon handle along each side of the center bone, then lift the bone out. Peel side off and discard. Divide fish steaks in half crosswise, among 4 serving plates. Pour sauce over fish and serve with a dollop of tapenade, if using, on top and garnish with the thyme sprigs, garlic, and tomatoes.
• To make the tapenade: Combine the olives, oil, thyme, and lemon zest, stir to combine. Season with pepper and set aside.

ROASTED HALIBUT AND POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Boil potatoes in well-salted water for 15 minutes, until tender. Rinse with cold water to cool, then cut each potato in half lengthwise.
• Transfer potatoes to shallow roasting pan, or rimmed baking sheet large enough to hold potato halves in 1 layer.
• Drizzle potatoes generously with 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Using your hands, massage the potatoes to coat with oil and turn potatoes cut-side up. Sprinkle lightly with salt. Roast potatoes, uncovered, until nicely browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
• As potatoes cook, prepare the fish: Season fish fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with garlic, rosemary, red-pepper flakes and crushed fennel seeds, if using. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then rub seasoning into fillets.
• When potatoes are brown, use a spatula to push them to the sides of baking dish, leaving room in the center for the fish. Lay fillets side by side in 1 layer. Roast fish until opaque and just cooked through, about 15 minutes. It should flake when pressed gently.
• Transfer fish and potatoes to a warm platter or individual plates. In a small bowl, mix together parsley, lemon zest and finely chopped rosemary. Sprinkle parsley mixture over fish and potatoes. Serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH LEMONS, OLIVES AND ROSEMARY

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 WITH SPICY SAUSAGE, TOMATOES, AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. (Or preheat an oven to 375°F.) Tear 4 sheets of heavy-duty foil to measure about 16x12". Set 2 sheets on a work surface; top each with a remaining sheet of foil (you are making 2 double-layer packets). Divide tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, and nduja between sheets, placing in the center. Season halibut generously with salt and pepper and set on top. Drizzle with wine and oil. Bring opposite sides of foil together in the center; crimp tightly, pressing out air, to close.
• Place foil packets directly on grill grates (or a rimmed baking sheet if using oven) and cook until tomatoes are beginning to burst and halibut is opaque all the way through, 14-16 minutes. Let rest at room temperature a few minutes, then carefully open and transfer fish to a platter. Top with tomatoes and cooking juices from packets.
• Do Ahead
• Packets can be assembled 1 day ahead. Chill.

HALIBUT WITH HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Puree first 5 ingredients in processor. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler. Brush fish with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil until just opaque in center, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Spoon sauce over and serve.

HERB CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Combine panko bread crumbs, parsley, dill, chives, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust with more salt if desired.
• Rinse halibut fillets and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Place halibut fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Generously spoon the herbed crumbs over the fish, and lightly press crumb mixture onto each fillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crumb topping is lightly browned and fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.

FRESH HERBED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and coat a baking sheet or broiling pan with olive oil.
• Rinse the fish and pat dry. Place on the greased pan, and brush with olive oil or coat with olive oil cooking spray. Squeeze the juice from the lemon wedges over the entire fillet, and season generously with salt first, then garlic and finally dill.
• Broil for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fillet is opaque and can be flaked with a fork. Broiling time may depend on the thickness of your fillet.

15 MINUTE BAKED HALIBUT WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Place the fish in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.
• Mix remaining ingredients well in a bowl and pour over fish.
• Cover, and bake until done, about 15 minutes; don't overcook.
• Check for doneness by inserting the tip of a knife into the center of the fish. Halibut should flake easily when done, yet still be moist.
• Remove from heat just before it is done to your liking, as it will continue to cook.
• Serve at once, pouring the pan juices over the fish.
