Orange Shallot Butter Recipes

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH BLOOD ORANGE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the blood orange butter sauce: Melt 2 pieces of the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the orange juice; stir to combine and simmer on medium-low heat until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add the remaining 8 pieces of butter, one piece at a time, whisking constantly, until each is fully incorporated. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• For the pan-seared halibut: Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a stainless-steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the fish in the skillet, skin-side down, allowing at least 2 inches between the fillets. Cook until the skin is crispy and the fish releases from the pan easily, about 3 minutes. Season the skinless side of the fish with a pinch of salt and pepper, then flip and cook until the fish is just opaque in the center, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place a few spoonfuls of the Blood Orange Butter Sauce over the fish. Sprinkle with the pomegranate arils and serve.

BROCCOLI IN ORANGE SHALLOT BUTTER

• Add butter and orange peel.
• Cook until butter has melted.

ORANGE-SHALLOT BUTTER

• In a medium bowl, combine butter, shallots, orange zest, sage, and salt. Stir until well combined.

BONELESS TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Using a sharp boning knife, place knife close to bone and carefully remove breast from bone, keeping breast meat connected. Place deboned breast skin-side down on work surface. If necessary, carefully pound breast between plastic, keeping skin intact, to make even. (Turkey breast halves can also be made thinner by butterflying. To do so, hold the blade of the knife parallel to the board and, working from center, cutting along length of one breast half, but not all the way through, opening like a book.) Repeat process with remaining breast half. Season breast with salt and pepper; spread butter evenly over breast.
• Begin by folding left and right sides in toward center and roll evenly until both sides meet. Turn rolled breast so skin side is facing up and adjust roulade shape as necessary. Using kitchen twine, tie at 2-inch intervals. Transfer to a roasting pan and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer roasting pan to oven and cook for 30 minutes. Decrease oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue cooking until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 1 hour more. Remove turkey from oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

SOLE WITH ORANGE BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• 1. Season the fillets with the salt and pepper and dredge them in the flour. Shake off any excess flour. Put half of the oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, sauté the fish on one side for 3 minutes. Then flip and cook on the other side until just done, 1 to 2 minutes; the fillets should be golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer them to a platter and keep them warm in a 200°F oven while you make the sauce.
• 2. Add the remaining oil and the butter to a sauté pan and cook over high heat until the butter starts to foam. Add the shallot. Cook until it is golden and the butter is a pale hazelnut brown, about 1 minute. Add the orange juice and cook for 1 minute more. Add the lemon juice. When the butter mixture starts to foam again, remove the pan from heat. Season with more salt and pepper, if desired.
• 3. Put a piece of sole on each plate, drizzle with the brown butter, and serve immediately.
