Herb Crusted Baked Halibut Recipes

HERB-CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Lightly rinse the halibut steaks and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place each steak between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten to about 1/2-inch thick.
• Dip each steak into the beaten egg white, then into the breadcrumbs.
• Set aside.
• Lightly coat a cast iron skillet or a heavy nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
• Place over high heat and add the halibut steaks.
• Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown and fish flakes easily when prodded with a fork.
• Remove halibut steaks; keep warm.
• Heat olive oil in a heavy saucepan; add shallot and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the wine and lemon juice.
• Cook over medium-high heat until sauce is reduced by half.
• Add the chicken broth, capers, parsley, and cornstarch mixture.

EASY BAKED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, shallot, lemon juice, parsley, one tablespoon of chives (save the remaining for garnish), mustard, salt and pepper.
• Lightly coat the inside of the baking dish with oil or butter (to prevent the halibut from sticking). Place the halibut filets in the baking dish. Then evenly spoon your mayonnaise mixture onto the top of the halibut filets.
• Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes minutes being careful not to overcook. Just before the fish is done, turn on the top broiler of your oven for 1-2 minutes to make the top golden. The fish is done when it becomes opaque and flakes easily.
• Remove the halibut from the oven and sprinkle the remaining chives on top before serving.

HERB AND GARLIC CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH OVEN BAKED RATATOUILLE

Steps:

• Brush each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, dredge, skin side down in the herb/bread mixture. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saute pan until almost smoking. Add the fillets, crust-side down and saute until lightly golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, turn the fillets over and continue cooking until the fish is just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium casserole, make a layer of onions, drizzle with a few tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with some of the herbs. Repeat with the remaining vegetables. Cover and bake in the oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, pressing down on the vegetables occasionally, until the vegetables are completely tender. Garnish with fresh parsley.

HERB-CRUSTED HALIBUT AKA "MOMMY'S FISH STICKS"

Steps:

• Rinse fillets and pat dry. Use 3 shallow dishes to prepare your breading ingredients. In the first dish, mix the flour with 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt or Essence and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Break the eggs into the second dish and beat well. In the third dish, mix the panko with the remaining seasoned salt or Essence, pepper, and dried herbs.
• Heat 1/4-inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Bread each fillet by dipping first in the flour mix, then the eggs, then the panko, coating thoroughly with each layer. Place carefully in the hot oil. (Don't crowd the skillet; work in batches if needed.) Cook 2 to 4 minutes on each side (time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.) Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

15 MINUTE BAKED HALIBUT WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.

• 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.
