Halibut With Pine Nut Parmesan Crust Recipes

HALIBUT WITH A PINE NUT CRUST

Steps:

• Let the fish fillets warm on the counter for at least half an hour prior to cooking them. You want them to be almost room temperature before placing them in the oven, this will help them cook through before the topping is too brown.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the fish in a large shallow baking pan. Mix together the pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, pesto and mayonnaise. Divide this mixture in half and then use a rubber scraper to spread the crust mixture over the top surface of each fillet. Pile it on so that all of the topping is used.
• Bake the fish 10-20 minutes, until the fish is firm to the touch and the crust begins to very lightly brown. The thickness of your fish will determine the cooking time. Serve hot with lemon wedges. Enjoy!

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH WALNUT CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Mix walnuts, panko, and all herbs in small bowl; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush each fish fillet with 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place fish on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle panko-herb mixture atop fish, dividing equally and pressing to adhere. Roast fish until just opaque in center, about 8 minutes. If crisper topping desired, preheat broiler and broil fish about 1 minute, watching carefully to prevent burning. Transfer fish to plates; garnish with lemon wedges.

• Place the fish filets on a baking tray (I used aluminum pie pans) skin side down. Salt the upper portions to your taste.
• Press the pine nut mixture onto the salted fish, patting it down to make it stick.

Steps:

• 1. Salt and pepper both sides of the Halibut fillets. Lay on lightly oiled baking sheet. 2. Spread the Halibut fillets with the above pesto crust. Pat the pesto crust & press lightly to make it ahere. 3. If prepared an hour or so before baking - cover lightly with foil and refrigerate. Remove 15 min or so before baking to bring to room temp. BAKE: Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Bake in middle of oven for 10-15 minutes until fish is opaque all the way through and the pesto is lightly browned. (I left the foil on for approx. 10 min - then removed it for the balance of the baking time - then I turned the oven off And put the foil back on for approx. 5 min. and left it in the turned off oven My piece of fish was about ¾" thick sp you need to judge the baking time).
