Halibut Mediterranean Style Recipes

ONE-PAN BAKED HALIBUT RECIPE WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together. Add the green beans, tomatoes, and onions and toss to coat with the sauce. With a large slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the vegetables to a large baking sheet (21 x 15 x 1 inch baking sheet, for example). Keep the vegetables to one side or one half of the baking sheet and make sure they are spread out in one layer.
• Now, add the halibut fillet strips to the remaining sauce, toss to coat. Transfer the halibut fillet to the baking sheet next to the vegetables and pour any remaining sauce on top.
• Lightly sprinkle the halibut and vegetables with a little more seasoned salt.
• Bake in 425 degrees F heated oven for 15 minutes. Then transfer the baking sheet to the top oven rack and broil for another 3 minutes or so, watching carefully. The cherry tomatoes should begin to pop under the broiler.
• When ready, remove the baked halibut and vegetables from the oven. Serve immediately.

HALIBUT - MEDITERRANEAN STYLE

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and set over medium-high heat.
• Add fish and cook until lightly golden, from 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Remove to a plate.
• (If using fillets, remove skin, if you wish.) Cover with foil to keep warm.
• Add wine to pan, then stir in Italian seasoning.
• Boil, stirring occasionally over medium-high heat, until wine is reduced by half, from 1 to 2 minutes.
• Stir in tomatoes and capers.
• Return fish and any accumulated juices to pan.
• Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
• Continue to cook, turning fish halfway through, until firm to the touch and a knife tip inserted into thickest part of fish comes out warm- from 7 to 10 minutes.
• Place fish on dinner plates and spoon sauce overtop.

EASY MEDITERRANEAN FISH

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place halibut fillets on a large sheet of aluminum foil and season with Greek seasoning. Combine tomato, onion, olives, capers, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spoon tomato mixture over the halibut. Carefully seal all the edges of the foil to create a large packet. Place the packet on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.

PAN SEARED HALIBUT RECIPE WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Use paper towels to pat the halibut fillets completely dry - this will ensure even browning. Season the fish on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the fish fillets in a single layer (you can do it in batches if all the fish won't fit in a single layer). Sear, without moving, for 3-4 minutes, until the edges of the fish are opaque. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes, until cooked through.
• Remove the fish from the pan and cover tightly with foil to keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same pan. Wait for it to melt, then heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is browned and smells nutty.TIP: If you like garlic, you can also use this lemon butter sauce recipe.
• Use the Zulay Kitchen Lemon Squeezer to squeeze all the juice from both halves of the lemon into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until volume is reduced by half. The lemon butter sauce will still be thin.
• Drizzle a little lemon butter sauce over each serving plate. Place the pan seared halibut fillets over the sauce, then drizzle more sauce on top.

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.

MEDITERRANEAN BAKED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Mix together chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mayo, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
• Coat a small baking sheet with a splash of olive oil and place the fish on top, skin side down. Sprinkle fish with a tiny bit of kosher salt. Spread the mayonnaise/tomato mixture over the top of the fish.
• Bake at 425 for 15-17 minutes. My fish was about 1 1/2" thick and took 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with fresh chopped basil. Enjoy!

MEDITERRANEAN BAKED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Arrange halibut in a baking dish, leaving space between fillets. Season with salt and pepper. Scatter tomatoes, feta, and olives, garlic, and thyme on top of fish, then drizzle with olive oil. Squeeze half a lemon over the dish.
• Place baking dish on center rack in oven and set timer to 10 minutes. At the 10-minute mark, check on the doneness of fillets. Halibut is done when thickest part flakes easily or has reached an internal temperature of 130 degrees on an instant read thermometer. Cook for a couple more minutes if not done.
• Serve while hot or at room temperature with side of cooked greens, rice, or lemony roasted potatoes.
