Potato Crusted Halibut Steaks Recipes

POTATO CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat a medium fry pan on medium heat.
• Scrub your potato well, then grate on the cheese grater. Once grated, squeeze any excess liquid from the potato and then add the potato to a small mixing bowl.
• Whisk an egg in a separate bowl and then add it to the potato and mix immediately. This will stop the potato from turning brown.
• Add the chopped green onion and then season well with salt, pepper and chilli powder. Stir again.
• Now spread a thin, even layer of the potato crust on to one side of the halibut fillets (make sure the halibut is nice and dry). If the potato layer is too thick, then it will not crisp up very well.
• Once your pan is preheated, add about 2 teaspoons each of canola and olive oil. Let the oil heat up for 10 seconds and then carefully add the halibut, potato side down to the pan.
• While you are frying the fish, preheat your toaster oven or regular oven if you don't have one, to 300 ° F.
• In the pan, add a thin layer of the potato mixture to the other side of the halibut.
• Once the potato crust is nicely browned, you should be able to see at the edges or you can check by carefully lifting it up, very carefully turn the halibut over. Brown the second side and then transfer to the oven.
• Finish cooking the halibut in the oven (5 minutes or so) depending on the thickness and then serve with your favourite grains and lots of veggies.

POTATO-CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the olive oil, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, lemon zest, crushed red pepper flakes and fennel seeds. Bring to a boil then turn the heat off and let it sit for at least 1 hour. (*Big tip: This can be done ahead and used for LOTS of different things.)
• Using a mandoline, slice 1 potato extremely thin, (paper thin), in elongated rounds. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a clean, dry work surface. Arrange 3 potato slices in an overlapping vertical line pressing them together as you put them on the parchment. Repeat this process until you have a 4 by 6-inch overlapping potato rectangle that replicates fish scales. Brush the potato "scales" with the infused oil and sprinkle with salt. Season the halibut with salt. Lay the halibut fillet closer to 1 end of the potato rectangle than the other and then roll the fish up in the potato slices, using the parchment to help facilitate the rolling. Press to compact and really adhere the potatoes to the fish. Brush the outside of the potatoes with the infused oil to seal the potatoes and to prevent the potatoes from turning brown, this will also help make a nice tight "fish package". Reserve the fish in the refrigerator while preparing the remaining fillets. Refrigerate the fillets for at least 1 hour before cooking.
• To cook the fish:
• Add the infused olive oil to a large nonstick saute pan until the bottom is generously covered and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and add to the pan. Cook the fish on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes frequently spooning the excess oil over the fish to "baste" it. The potatoes should be crispy golden brown and very well flavored and the fish will be succulent inside its crispy "scales". Transfer to serving plates and serve.
