Fresh Herbed Halibut Recipes

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.

HALIBUT WITH HERBED BUTTER

Steps:

• For the herb butter, in a medium bowl, combine the butter, garlic, chopped herbs, and lemon zest plus salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a small saucepan.
• Heat the olive oil in a grill pan over high heat. Sprinkle the halibut generously on both sides with salt and pepper. When the grill pan is hot, place the fish on the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes on one side.
• Meanwhile, heat the herb butter just until melted.
• Turn the fish, lower the heat to medium, and pour the melted herb butter over the fish. Cover the pan, turn off the heat, and allow to sit for 3 minutes.
• To serve, place the fish on a serving platter, spoon the herb butter over the fish, sprinkle with extra parsley, and serve hot.

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.

EASY HALIBUT FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Make little aluminum foil trays sized to fit each fillet.
• Wipe the bottom of each tray with olive oil.
• Put the fillets ugly side up (skin side even if the skin is now removed) on the trays.
• Mix the butter with the chopped herbs throughly.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the butter on the halibut.
• Broil for 4 minutes.
• Carefully turn each fillet over, not spilling any of the melted herb butter.
• Broil for 4 more minutes.
• Remove and plate, pouring the melted sauce over each fillet.

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.

ERIC'S POACHED HALIBUT IN WARM HERB VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Place mustard in a medium mixing bowl, and slowly whisk in vinaigrette. Add shallots. Transfer to a small saucepan, and set aside.
• In a 10-inch saucepan over high heat, bring bouillon to a boil. Season both sides of the halibut with salt and pepper. Add halibut to the pot, and adjust the heat until the liquid simmers. Poach for 5 to 6 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the fish meets little resistance or when left in the fillet for 5 seconds, the cake tester is warm to your lip. The halibut will be rare (thinner steaks will poach in less time). Transfer the steaks to a warm plate, and set aside.
• Add herbs to the vinaigrette, and warm over low heat. Remove the skin from the halibut, and place one steak in the center of each plate. Spoon vinaigrette over and around the fish. Serve immediately.
