PAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH GARLIC CHIVE SPAETZLE, LOBSTER AND FAVA BEANS WITH A WILD MUSHROOM VELOUTE

Steps:

• Mix milk, flour, 5 whole eggs, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground pepper and minced garlic until the dough forms. Allow to rest for 30 minutes. Over a pot of salted boiling water, pass the dough through a perforated pan or spaetzle maker. Once the dumplings float, strain out of the water and place them on a tray until room temperature. Moisten with a little oil and store for up to 2 days, refrigerated.
• In a pot place 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 shallots, 1 cup of leeks and 1 cup of mushrooms and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Then add the fish stock and reduce by half. Add your 1-quart of cream and reduce by another two thirds. Place in a blender until smooth and pass through a strainer. Adjust with salt and pepper.
• You will need 2 pans for cooking and a small pot for your sauce. In a pan on medium-high heat, add the oil and allow 30 seconds to heat up. Then place the fillet of fish away from you in a pan so it doesn't splash you. While the fish is cooking, put the other pan on high heat, place half of the butter and allow to brown slightly. Once slightly brown add the spatzle and allow to cook for about 1 1/2 minutes. At this stage add the fava beans and lobster; allow to cook for no more than 2 minutes.
• Your fish should be almost cooked by this point with a nice golden brown crust, flip and finish for 1 minute. Place the sauces on warm plates with the spatzle saute in the middle and the drained fish on top.

GRILLED HALIBUT SKEWERS

Steps:

• Mix first half of ingredients together in a non-reactive dish or large Zip Lock bag. Soak skewers in water until needed. Slice fish and peppers in to 1" or 1½" cubes/squares.
• Marinate fish for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature before cooking. Drain and save marinade for basting.
• Skewer fish and vegetables together and grill about 10 to 15 (depends or the size of your fish) minutes over Medium heat. Basting with reserved marinade.
• Note:.
• Getting nice cubes of fish will be easier if you start with a roast or a fillet vs. a steak.
• Lemon juice will actually cook the fish while marinating. Do not over marinate.
• Adding a little (very little) Apple or Hickory wood chips will add to the flavor.
• I found that the marinate time was better at about 3 to 4 hours if you have large pieces of fish. Say 1½" to 2" chunks. You may not want to leave it out that long, try the first hour or two in the refrigerator and the last few at room temperature Just for safety.
