Black Pepper Halibut Steaks With Roasted Tomatoes Food

HALIBUT WITH ROASTED LEEKS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the leeks in a roasting pan. Toss the tomatoes with 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, vinegar, rosemary, thyme, and salt in a small bowl and add it to the leeks and toss. Put the pan in the oven, uncovered, and roast for 20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes. Remove from oven when the leeks have softened to touch or when the tomatoes have begun to shrivel.
• In a large nonstick pan, over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and allow the butter to melt. Drizzle the halibut with remaining oil, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the halibut in the buttered pan, skin side down, and reduce the heat to medium. Allow the fish to cook for 5 minutes, carefully flip and repeat the cooking process on the second side. After the second side has cooked, remove the halibut to a plate and keep warm. Return the pan to high heat. Stir in the wine with a wooden spoon, to deglaze the pan. Add the lemon juice and chicken stock. This pan sauce should reduce by half, or until thickened. Once the sauce has reduced, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining butter. Arrange the halibut on serving plates, drizzle with the sauce and serve with the roasted leeks and tomatoes alongside.

PAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH ROASTED HEIRLOOM TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the grapeseed oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Sear the fish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add the thyme and juice of 1/2 a lemon and baste the fish with the sauce. Remove the halibut from the pan to a serving platter. Add the olive oil to the pan and stir in the tomatoes, the garlic and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Cook for 2 minutes and then add the parsley. Stir to combine and serve on top of the fish.

ROASTED HALIBUT OVER BRAISED POTATOES, TOMATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then line the bottom with the potato rounds. Season with salt and pepper, add enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Once the potatoes are softened, drain off the excess water so there is only a small amount left on the bottom. Scatter the lemons, shallots, tomatoes, wine, olives, capers and thyme over the potatoes. Dot with the butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and put on top of the potatoes.
• Make a parchment lid for the skillet by cutting a piece of parchment paper that's larger than your skillet. Fold it in half, then fold it in half again in the other direction so you have creases on 2 sides of the paper. Starting with the folded tip, fold on the diagonal 3 times, like a fan, to form narrow triangles. Measure how large your parchment lid should be by placing the tip of the triangle above the center of the skillet and cutting it where it hits the edge of the skillet. Cut off the folded tip to make a small hole in the center. Open up the parchment and set aside.
• Open the parchment lid and place it over the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft and the halibut is fully cooked and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the parchment lid. Serve, drizzled with some of the sauce from the skillet and some oil, then sprinkle with the parsley.

• Arrange halibut steaks in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Spoon equal amounts of the zucchini mixture over each steak. Top with feta cheese.

PAN ROASTED HALIBUT WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Directions:.
• Pan Roasted Halibut with Tomatoes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the roasted tomato salsa: add a splash of olive oil, tomatoes, onion, white wine, and thyme sprigs to a medium roasting pan. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Roast in oven just until onions and tomatoes start to soften, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile season fish with salt and pepper and chopped thyme. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to large skillet or sauté pan over medium high heat. When pan is hot, sear fish on both sides, about 1 to 2 minute per side.
• Transfer halibut to roasting pan after vegetables have roasted for about 7 to 10 minutes. Roast fish with vegetables, moving vegetables in the pan to surround the fish. Continue to roast until fish is cooked through and firm, about 7 to 9 minutes. Serve fish and roasted salsa with fresh basil. Drizzle each plate with some of the pan juices.

BAKED HALIBUT WITH TOMATO CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, three to five minutes, and add the garlic and the capers. Cook, stirring, for three to five minutes, until the onion has softened thoroughly and the mixture is fragrant. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Stir in the thyme, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or cold.
• Make the sauce as directed and keep warm.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough for the fish to lie flat. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and arrange in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, and place a round of lemon on each one. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and place in the oven. Bake 15 minutes. Check the fish; if you can cut into it with a fork, it is done. If it doesn't yield, (halibut fillets tend to be thick can take time to cook), cover and return to the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven, and check again. Remove the lemon slices from the fish.
• Place a spoonful of sauce on each plate, and place a piece of fish partially on top. Spoon some of the liquid from the baking dish over the fish. If you wish, top the fish with another spoonful of sauce, garnish with basil leaves and serve.
