Pan Roasted Halibut Pepe Verde Food

ONE-PAN BAKED HALIBUT RECIPE WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together. Add the green beans, tomatoes, and onions and toss to coat with the sauce. With a large slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the vegetables to a large baking sheet (21 x 15 x 1 inch baking sheet, for example). Keep the vegetables to one side or one half of the baking sheet and make sure they are spread out in one layer.
• Now, add the halibut fillet strips to the remaining sauce, toss to coat. Transfer the halibut fillet to the baking sheet next to the vegetables and pour any remaining sauce on top.
• Lightly sprinkle the halibut and vegetables with a little more seasoned salt.
• Bake in 425 degrees F heated oven for 15 minutes. Then transfer the baking sheet to the top oven rack and broil for another 3 minutes or so, watching carefully. The cherry tomatoes should begin to pop under the broiler.
• When ready, remove the baked halibut and vegetables from the oven. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Sprinkle the halibut with some salt. Sear the halibut on both sides until lightly golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the halibut to the prepared baking sheet lined and bake in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Return the skillet to medium-low heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook the onions and garlic until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the anchovy paste, olives and capers to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the crushed tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes and bring to a low simmer for 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until the wine cooks off slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
• To serve, spoon the sauce directly onto the plate and top with the halibut filets. Top with the basil and lemon zest.

Steps:

• Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in heavy skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts and begins to foam. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt; saute in hot butter and oil golden brown, about 5 minutes. Push mushroom to the edges to clear a space in the center of the skillet.
• Season halibut on each side with salt and cayenne pepper. Place halibut fillets in the center of the skillet and cook until the fillets begin to flake, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer halibut to a warm serving plate.
• Pour the water into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until water is reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour lemon juice into mushroom mixture and stir.
• Stir butter and parsley into mushroom mixture. Stir constantly until butter melts and forms a sauce; remove from heat and season with salt and black pepper. Spoon sauce and mushrooms over halibut.

PAN-SEARED MARINATED HALIBUT FILLETS

Steps:

• In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the 6 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add fish, seal bag, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• In a large flat skillet (do not use a ridged pan), pour light olive oil or vegetable oil, tilting pan to spread evenly. Warm over high heat until smoking, then add fish fillets. Brush top and sides with marinade. Cook until seared, about 3 minutes; turn and sear other side, about 3 more minutes. Brush top and sides with marinade again. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until centers of fillets are just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more on each side depending on thickness, brushing with marinade as before. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve.

PAN-FRIED HALIBUT FILLETS WITH ROASTED VEGETABLE CHILE BROTH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sweat the onion and garlic. Add the wine, raise the heat to high, and reduce the liquid completely. Reduce the heat to medium, add the stock and half of the roasted peppers, poblano, garlic, shallots and pearl onions, reserve the remaining vegetables, simmer for 30 minutes. Pure the mixture in a blender or processor, or in the pan with a hand-held blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper and honey. Place a fillet in a bowl and ladle the broth around it. Garnish with the remaining roasted vegetables and sage pesto.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until it begins to smoke and then add the butter. Season the fillets with salt and pepper to taste on both sides and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
• In a food processor, combine the sage, parsley, garlic, pine nuts and cheese and process for 20 seconds, slowly adding the olive oil while the machine is running. Transfer to a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.

PAN-ROASTED HALIBUT PEPE VERDE

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Combine the rosemary, garlic, and 1/4 cup of the olive oil in the bowl of a miniature food processor or the jar of a blender and purée. Rinse the fish fillets, pat them dry with paper towels, and lay them in a single layer in a nonreactive baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fish and turn to coat with the marinade on all sides.
• Combine the veal stock and peppercorns in a medium sauté pan over high heat. Bring the stock to a boil and continue to boil until it is glossy and has reduced by two-thirds, about 10 minutes. You want the liquid to be shiny and translucent with the consistency of a thick glaze or thin gravy. If you cook it for so long that it becomes dull and gravy-like, stir in enough water to obtain the desired consistency. Turn off the heat while you cook the fish. Just before serving, if the sauce has cooled, warm it over medium heat. Stir in the lemon juice just before serving.
• Remove the fish fillets from the marinade and season on both sides with salt. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat until the oil is almost smoking and slides easily in the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Place the fillets skin side down in the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes so the skin begins to brown and crisp. Place the pan in the oven and cook the fish for about 4 minutes, until the skin is golden brown. To check for doneness, look at the skin around the outer edges of the fish; you want it to be a rich, crunchy, french-fry brown around the sides. Remove the pan from the oven and slide a spatula under each fillet to turn it, taking care not to tear the skin or to burn yourself, as the pan will be searing hot. Return the pan to the oven and cook the fish for another minute. Remove the pan from the oven and remove the fish to a plate or cutting board.
• Line a plate with paper towels. Without wiping out the pan, place it over high heat and, working in batches, place the lettuce leaves in the pan for 30 seconds to 1 minute to wilt them slightly. Remove the leaves to a paper towel and use another paper towel to gently pat them dry. Drape two lettuce leaves in the center of each of four large plates, overlapping them slightly. Lay the fish on the lettuce and spoon the sauce, including the peppercorns, over the fish, dividing it evenly.
