CASSEROLE-BAKED HALIBUT WITH LEEKS AND CARROTS RECIPE - (4.9/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°. In a large, deep, ovenproof skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the carrots and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of water, cover and cook over moderate heat until the carrots are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add the leeks and another 1/2 cup of water, then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Season the carrots and leeks with salt and white pepper and add the thyme and bay leaves to the skillet. Season the fish with salt and white pepper and arrange on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the fish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Cover the fish with parchment paper and close the skillet with a heavy lid. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the fish for 15 minutes, or until just cooked through. Discard the herbs. Transfer the fish to plates, spoon the vegetables and juices alongside and serve right away.

SEARED HALIBUT WITH CORIANDER & CARROTS

Steps:

• Prepare the halibut: Toast the coriander and fennel seeds in a medium frying pan over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and crush with a mortar and pestle, or transfer to a clean spice grinder. Grind to a fine powder. Add the turmeric and cayenne. Set aside 1/4 teaspoon of the spice blend; reserve the remaining spice blend.
• Lay out your halibut on a baking sheet/tray and season with salt and pepper. Brush or drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and rub the remaining spice mixture over the fish on both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Prepare the carrots: While the fish rests, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, fill another bowl with ice and water to create an ice bath. When the water boils, add the carrots and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer them to the ice bath with a slotted spoon. Pull them out after about 2 minutes and set aside.
• Make the yogurt sauce: Toast the mustard seeds in a pan the same way you did with the coriander and fennel seeds. Crush or grind and stir together with yogurt, olive oil, and grated ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl.
• When the table is set, heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the halibut fillets to the pan and let cook untouched until they begin to release easily from the pan, about 4 minutes. Gently flip and cook the other side until the fish is just cooked through but still slightly translucent in the center. Remove the fish to the platter.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in another large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the carrots and toss to coat. Season with salt. Add the shallot and cook until just beginning to soften but still purple, about 2 minutes. Pull from the heat and transfer the carrots to a plate or platter. Add the 1/4 teaspoon reserved spice blend to the residual oil in the pan. Spoon the flavored oil over the carrots and finish with parsley.
• Serve fish and carrots on 2 pretty plates with carrots. Drizzle with yogurt sauce or serve the sauce in a small bowl alongside.

BAKED HALIBUT EN PAPILLOTE WITH LEEKS AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Cut out two large circles of baking parchment or greaseproof paper (the size of a large dinner plate). You want a few inches around the fish, so if you are using something other than halibut, work to that size. It can't be too big and if it's too small the fish won't steam properly.
• Fold each paper in half, then in the centre of one side divide the ingredients between them. Pile up the leeks and carrots, add the fish, then the dill, lemon and seasoning. Scrunch up the sides of paper, then add the oil and wine.
• Make a parcel by folding up the sides. Then put each parcel in a big piece of foil, scrunch it up to seal then place each on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Discard the foil and serve the parcels on large plates. Open and eat while piping hot.
