Halibut With A White Belgian Beer Sauce Food

HALIBUT A LA VASCO CON ALBUIAS EN SALSA VERDE (BASQUE-STYLE HALIBUT WITH WHITE BEANS AND HERB SAUCE)

Steps:

• For the white beans: Put the white beans in a container with the 4 cups water and soak overnight. The next day, drain the water and put the white beans, salt, carrot, celery, thyme, bay leaf, onion and 6 cups water in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer and skim any foam that forms on top. Simmer gently so as not to break the beans, until they are soft in the middle, about 2 hours. Take the pot off the heat and let the beans cool in the liquid. Drain, reserving the bean cooking liquid.
• For the fish stock: Put the olive oil, fennel, leek and onion in a 1-gallon stock pot and cook over medium heat to soften without browning, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and lemon juice. While that is going, wash the fish bones in cold water and then add to the pot with the bay leaf and 8 cups cold water. Bring the stock up to a rolling boil, then lower the heat and simmer, skimming off any foam that forms on top, for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain the stock and cool in an ice bath. (Makes about 6 cups; leftover fish stock can be refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for 2 months.)
• For the white bean stew: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat, add the garlic and let it brown slowly. Once it starts smelling of cooked garlic, whisk in the flour so it dissolves into the oil to make a roux. Whisk in the wine and 2 cups of the fish stock until smooth. Increase the heat to medium high, bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce gets too thick, add up to 1 cup of the reserved bean cooking liquid. Add the white beans and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons Calabrian chile flakes-add more if you prefer spicy. Add a little lemon zest and juice. Keep the stew warm while you cook the clams and halibut. Just before serving add the parsley to keep it as green and fresh as possible.
• For clams: Put the clams in a pot and with wine to cover. Cover the pot and bring the wine to a boil over high heat, to gently open the clams. As soon as the clams start to open, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate.
• For the fish: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the halibut on both sides with salt and pepper. Sear the fish skin-side down until the first layer of fish starts to turn white, about 3 minutes. Flip, and cook until sides of the filets have turned white and the fish feels firm in the middle when you push down on the tops, another 2 minutes.
• To serve: Stir the parsley into the white bean stew. Divide the stew and clams among 4 bowls and top each with a piece of halibut, skin-side up. Sprinkle with some chopped parsley and serve.

HALIBUT WITH CREAMY GARLIC AND HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
• Rub the halibut fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish, then press the cilantro leaves onto the top of the halibut. Bake the halibut in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine, and season with dill and tarragon. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the chicken broth, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then dissolve the flour into the water, and stir into the boiling sauce. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the halibut to serve.

BEER BATTER HALIBUT

Steps:

• Divide halibut fillet into approximately 1.5" cubes.
• Mix dry ingredients, add beaten egg. Pour beer in until proper consistency. Batter will be smooth and a little runny but thicker than water.
• The remaining beer is yours to enjoy.
• Add oil to frying pan until oil is approximately 1/2 the height of the halibut cubes; heat on medium high until suitable for deep frying.
• Make a test piece:.
• Coat halibut piece in batter, add to oil. Fry for two minutes, then turn with tongs (being very careful of oil spattering) and fry another two minutes. Transfer finished piece to a paper towel covered plate. Split piece with fork to check for doneness, if piece does not split easily and/or middle of halibut piece does not appear to be opaque, adjust cooking time and/or oil temperature to ensure pieces are done.
• When satisfied with cooking time, repeat until all pieces have been cooked (multiple pieces can be put in pan).
• Serve warm with tartar sauce.

PAN SEARED HALIBUT RECIPE WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Use paper towels to pat the halibut fillets completely dry - this will ensure even browning. Season the fish on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the fish fillets in a single layer (you can do it in batches if all the fish won't fit in a single layer). Sear, without moving, for 3-4 minutes, until the edges of the fish are opaque. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes, until cooked through.
• Remove the fish from the pan and cover tightly with foil to keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same pan. Wait for it to melt, then heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is browned and smells nutty.TIP: If you like garlic, you can also use this lemon butter sauce recipe.
• Use the Zulay Kitchen Lemon Squeezer to squeeze all the juice from both halves of the lemon into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until volume is reduced by half. The lemon butter sauce will still be thin.
• Drizzle a little lemon butter sauce over each serving plate. Place the pan seared halibut fillets over the sauce, then drizzle more sauce on top.

BEER-BATTERED HALIBUT WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• For the tartar sauce: In a bowl, add the parsley, tarragon, shallot, and cornichon. Chop the hard boiled egg by removing the yolk and crumbling it, then dice the white. Add both yolk and whites to the bowl. Add vinegar, salt, mustard, mayonnaise, and a few dashes of hot sauce (or more to taste). Stir to combine and set aside.
• For the beer batter: In a large mixing bowl, mix the cake flour and baking soda with a fork. Slowly pour in the beer, stirring the entire time (it's okay if there are a few lumps). The batter should be thin, falling off the fork easily so it coats the fish, not heavy like pancake batter. Set aside.
• Fry the halibut: Fill a deep heavy-bottomed pan with oil-don't go higher than 2 inches from the rim-and heat to 350 degrees F. Season the halibut with salt on both sides. Test the oil by cooking a few drops of batter; they should float to the surface when the oil's hot enough. Remove these "tester crunchies" with a slotted spoon. One piece at a time, drop the fish into the beer batter, then remove it, letting the excess drip off. Then place it halfway into the oil, letting a crust form for 10 seconds, then releasing it gently into the pan. Repeat with two more pieces (three at a time), so the pan isn't overcrowded and cook each for 3-4 minutes. Remove the fish to a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Season with flaky sea salt and serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges.

BROILED HALIBUT WITH BECHAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook's Note: The halibut can be substituted with 24 ounces of sole fillets. Reduce the cooking time in the wine mixture to 3 to 4 minutes.
• Spray a 7 by 11-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
• For the bechamel sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• For the halibut: In a large saucepan, bring the wine and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the halibut. Cover the pan and cook until the flesh is opaque, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a fish spatula, carefully remove the fish and arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a broiler. Spoon the bechamel sauce over the fish and top with the Parmesan. Dot with butter and broil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes.

10-MINUTE BAKED HALIBUT WITH GARLIC-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and Old Bay together; brush the halibut fillets with the mixture.
• Arrange fillets in a single layer in an ovenproof baking dish; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
• Melt butter in a small saucean over low heat; add in garlic; stir/saute until the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
• Remove pan from heat; add in lemon juice, lemon zest, and herbs; store in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake the fish.
• Preheat oven to 400°; let fish come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
• Melt the garlic butter and pour it over the fish.
• Bake the fish for 10 minutes, basting once with the sauce.
• The fish is done when it is opaque all the way through when slashed in the thickest part or an instant-read thermometer reads 165°.
• Serve fish with the garlic butter spooned over each portion.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk together black bean and garlic sauce, vinegar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and water in a bowl. Pat fish dry with paper towels. Place remaining cornstarch in shallow dish. Coat fish with cornstarch, shaking to remove excess.
• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add fish and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.
• Add ginger and scallion whites to empty skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add black bean mixture and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over fish and sprinkle with scallion greens and cilantro. Serve.

HALIBUT WITH BRIGHT LEMON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix flour, salt, and pepper on a large plate and then dredge each cut of halibut. Shake off any excess flour.
• Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan, wait for foam to reduce and add fish to the pan. Saute, turning once, until the fish is cooked all the way through, flakes easily, and is golden brown all over. Transfer fish to a serving platter.
• Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and add the capers. Saute 1 minute, then add lemon juice and whisk lightly. Pour over the fish on the serving dish and serve immediately, sprinkling with zest and chives.

HALIBUT WITH CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place butter and onion on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 34 in. x 18 in.). Cut fish into serving-size pieces, removing and discarding the bones. Place over the onion., In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream and seasonings. Set aside 1/2 cup for serving. Spoon the remaining sauce over fish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Fold foil around fish and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

BEER BATTERED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic and paprika. Whisk in just enough beer to make the consistency pourable, but not too thin. The mixture should resemble pancake batter. Set the batter and the fish pieces in separate bowls next to the stove.
• Pour the oil into a heavy bottomed saucepan and warm it over medium high heat. You want it to be as hot as possible, without smoking. When the oil is hot, drop a few pieces of fish into the batter and coat well. Shake off the excess batter and using metal tongs, gently place the fish into the oil. Hold it there for a few seconds before releasing it, so that the coating will seal and it won't stick to the other pieces or the bottom of the pan. Repeat the process, cooking just a few pieces at a time to avoid crowding.
• Let them cook for a few minutes, until the coating is lightly browned. (I found it easiest to use separate tongs for coating the fish and for frying in the oil.) Remove from the oil with clean tongs or a large wire scoop (made for frying) and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Test a piece with a fork to make sure the center is cooked and flaking. Serve with Dill Sauce and Enjoy!

HALIBUT, WITH A WHITE BELGIAN BEER-SAUCE.

Steps:

• 1. White wine sauce is something you could make in 15 minutes, but I like to make it in advance: infused white wine with shallot, bay leaf and thyme, add fish stock and reduce by 2/3, add cream, reduce by 1/2, sieve it and add cube of ice cold butter before serving.
• 2. Start with boiling your potatoes and make a mash out of it. Depending on how you like it, mash more or less.
• 3. In the meantime you put a saucepan on the heat and pour in 2 cups of white wine with the chopped shallot, bay leaf and the thyme. When this is infused and reduced by at least 2/3, it becomes almost like syrup. Then add 3 cups of fish stock and reduce by 1/2. Add cream and reduce for another 5 minutes. Then sieve it and season to taste.
• 4. Now your potatoes should be ready. Put it aside and start with a new pan (I prefer coated for this, see "types of pots and pans" on suppliesformykitchen.com) with some olive oil, a cube of butter, all of the leek and a half inch of water.
• 5. Put is on a medium-high fire for about 4 minutes, make sure there is always water in the pan because it should not color or dry out! You have to taste it to make sure it's not underdone or worse!
• 6. Strain the leek and let it sit in the sieve to dry, BUT SAVE THE LIQUID. You will use this to make the mash smoother and tasty!
• 7. Meanwhile you can take a plate or pan that can go into the oven and strike butter with your hands on the whole inside of the pan, add the remaining stock and white wine and pour it in. Also put a bay leaf and some thyme in there and some crushed peppercorns and rough sea- or Himalayan salt. Cover it and let it poach for about 5 minutes in a strongly heated oven, each oven and pot or pan will take another poaching time... Just check up on it frequently and make sure there is always a quarter inch of moisture at the bottom!
• 8. When this is ready. Take out of the oven, and remove any cover it had and let at room temperature while you make the mash.
• 9. Add all the ingredients together for your mash (so also roast some chopped bacon, or cubes) and add the potatoes, leek, some cream and then the liquid from the leek. Season to taste with pepper and salt.
• 10. Then for the last part or the recipe you have to take a clean saucepan, add the 2 egg yolks and 2/3 of a cup of white beer, Belgian of course because this is a Belgian white beer recipe :-) Whisk it on top of a pot filled with simmering water to make sure it's temperature stays beneath the eggs cooking point! Whisk strong until you have a smooth foamy sauce! And add this to the slightly heated white wine sauce.
• 11. DONE! I really you're gonna try this and the next time you make it will be Christmas with your family!
• 12. Spread the love^^ Recipe created and shared by Jan Nevejans at http://suppliesformykitchen.com/belgian-white-beer-recipe/
