Halibut With Pine Nut Parmesan Crust Food

HALIBUT WITH A PINE NUT CRUST

Steps:

• Let the fish fillets warm on the counter for at least half an hour prior to cooking them. You want them to be almost room temperature before placing them in the oven, this will help them cook through before the topping is too brown.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the fish in a large shallow baking pan. Mix together the pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, pesto and mayonnaise. Divide this mixture in half and then use a rubber scraper to spread the crust mixture over the top surface of each fillet. Pile it on so that all of the topping is used.
• Bake the fish 10-20 minutes, until the fish is firm to the touch and the crust begins to very lightly brown. The thickness of your fish will determine the cooking time. Serve hot with lemon wedges. Enjoy!

HALIBUT WITH PINE NUT AND PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a medium sized bowl, mix the pine nuts, Parmesan, basil, garlic, and olive oil.
• Place the fish filets on a baking tray (I used aluminum pie pans) skin side down. Salt the upper portions to your taste.
• Press the pine nut mixture onto the salted fish, patting it down to make it stick.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork and is opaque. Don't forget to scrape the brown crusty bits off the bottom of the pan - those are the tasty parts.
• I made this recipe for 2 using 2 fish filets and coating both sides of the fish with the mixture.

PARMESAN CRUSTED BAKED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 475° and brush a baking sheet with oil. In a small bowl, lightly beat egg and milk together. In a separate bowl, stir together parmesan cheese, flour, paprika, pepper and salt. Dip fish fillets in egg wash, and then dredge in flour mixture. Lay fish fillets in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Top with dabs of butter and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy and baked through.

HALIBUT PARMESAN

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Pat the halibut dry with a paper towel. Spread the flour in 1 shallow dish, beat the egg with 2 tablespoons water in another, and put the Parmesan cheese in a third.
• Heat a medium oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter or oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Meanwhile, coat the halibut with flour, shaking off the excess; repeat with the egg mixture and Parmesan. Add the fish to the pan and cook until golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until slightly crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve hot.

HALIBUT WITH PINE NUT & PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• 1. Salt and pepper both sides of the Halibut fillets. Lay on lightly oiled baking sheet. 2. Spread the Halibut fillets with the above pesto crust. Pat the pesto crust & press lightly to make it ahere. 3. If prepared an hour or so before baking - cover lightly with foil and refrigerate. Remove 15 min or so before baking to bring to room temp. BAKE: Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Bake in middle of oven for 10-15 minutes until fish is opaque all the way through and the pesto is lightly browned. (I left the foil on for approx. 10 min - then removed it for the balance of the baking time - then I turned the oven off And put the foil back on for approx. 5 min. and left it in the turned off oven My piece of fish was about ¾" thick sp you need to judge the baking time).
