Halibut With Citrus And Cilantro Recipes

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH CILANTRO GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat. Squeeze the juice from the lime wedges over fish fillets, then season them with salt and pepper.
• Grill fish fillets for about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and fish can be flaked with a fork. Remove to a warm serving plate.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, remaining lime juice and cilantro. Serve fish with the cilantro butter sauce.

CILANTRO-LIME HALIBUT

Steps:

• Season halibut with salt and pepper one hour before cooking. Place in refrigerator.
• Lightly oil a non-stick pan with canola or vegetable oil. Over high heat, sear each side of the halibut filets for five seconds each.
• Searing the filets will cook a fine layer on the outside of the fish so that it will not stick to the barbecue. Because of the moistness and flakiness of halibut, this will prevent the halibut from sticking and falling through the grates of your barbecue grill. This is a great tip when barbecuing all types of fish, but works especially well with halibut.
• Remove halibut from pan and turn heat down to medium. Add olive oil and garlic to pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine or chicken stock, cilantro, lime juice , lime zest and olive oil to the sauté pan and heat until hot but not boiling.
• Remove sauce from heat and baste fish on both sides. Cook on barbecue grill for 3 minutes per side, basting constantly while cooking. Serve immediately.

HALIBUT WITH CITRUS AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat; prepare an ice-water bath. Add salt to boiling water; return to a boil. Add fennel and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to ice-water bath to cool; drain and set aside.
• Place lemon zest in a small saucepan and add enough water to cover. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil; drain, return lemon zest to saucepan and repeat process twice more.

• Slice the top and bottom of 2 oranges with a paring knife. Set one of the flat sides on your work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Trim off any remaining pith. Holding the orange over a small saucepan, cut along both sides of each segment, staying close to the membrane, to release. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine; set aside.
• In a medium skillet, bring orange juice to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until thickened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl and drizzle with olive oil; set sauce aside.

Add the avocado, onions, cilantro and lime zest and juice to the bowl with the citrus. Gently toss to mix. Season the salsa with salt and pepper.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the halibut liberally with salt and pepper. Add the halibut to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the halibut to serving plates, top with salsa and serve.

• Season the halibut with salt and arrange over the roasted vegetables. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake until the halibut is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the blood orange juice, grapefruit juice and lime juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer until combined. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, waiting until the butter is emulsified before adding the next piece. Season with salt. Keep warm over very low heat until ready to serve.
• Peel the whole grapefruit with a paring knife, removing the white pith. Slice between the membranes to remove the segments. Transfer the halibut and vegetables to a platter with a spatula and scatter the grapefruit segments around them. Drizzle with the citrus butter.
