Potato Wrapped Halibut Food

POTATO-WRAPPED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Halve potatoes lengthwise. Using a very sharp knife or mandolin, slice potatoes lengthwise into paper-thin rounds.
• Lay a piece of parchment paper on work surface; arrange potato slices, slightly overlapping, to form a 5-by-7-inch rectangle on parchment; season with salt and pepper.
• Place one fish fillet on potato rectangle. Using the parchment paper, wrap one side of the potatoes around the fish, pressing to adhere. Top with three parsley leaves. Wrap remaining side of potato rectangle around fish and over parsley, pressing to adhere. Carefully remove parchment paper and discard. Repeat process with remaining potatoes, fish fillet, and parsley.
• Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat potatoes dry with a clean towel and add fish, parsley side down; cook, turning, until potatoes are golden and crisp on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and serve immediately with beurre rouge sauce.

POTATO-CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Beat the egg yolks with salt and pepper in a shallow pan (a pie pan works great) to make an egg wash.
• Combine the potato flakes with the thyme leaves and spread out on a plate or shallow pan.
• Season the fillets with salt and pepper on one side only. Dip just the seasoned side of the fish into the egg wash, being careful not to let any egg wash drip down the sides of the fish. Dip the egg-washed side of the fish into the seasoned potato flakes and press down a bit to make them adhere. Set aside, crust-side down. Repeat with the remaining fillets.
• Pour olive oil into a large sauté pan, arrange the fillets crust side down in the pan, and place on the burner over medium-high heat. (Do not preheat the sauté pan; the fish will not stick.) After about 3 minutes, the crust should be golden brown; if it is not, raise the heat to high and continue cooking. When the crust has turned golden brown, season the fish with salt and pepper, flip it over, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat; leave the fillets in the pan for 1 minute.
• Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice, being careful not to squeeze it directly on the fish, which would soften the crisp crust you have worked so hard to develop. Swirl the pan a few times to incorporate the lemon juice. Remove from pan and serve!

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.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH OLIVE OIL POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a knife. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 clove sliced garlic. Sauté over low heat until lightly golden, then add anchovy and 1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves. Transfer to a small food processor and add olives, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon cold water. Purée until smooth and season to taste with white pepper; set aside.
• When potatoes are tender, drain and put through a food mill or mash them. Return to pot and place over low heat.

Add 2 tablespoons butter and whisk or blend until frothy. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Place a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add grapeseed oil. When oil is hot, add fillets presentation-side down. Cook for 1 minute on stove top, then place in oven for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and return to stove top on medium heat. Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter to pan. When it starts to foam, add remaining 2 cloves garlic and sprigs of thyme. Baste fish with butter for 1 minute. Remove fillets from pan when undersides are golden brown.

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.

POTATO WRAPPED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Slice potato with a mandolin to get uniform, extra thin slices. For each serving arrange about 8 slices of the potato on a flat surface so that there are 2 rows of 4 slices each, slightly overlapping. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Lay the fish fillet down the center of the potatoes slices. Bring up both sides of the potatoes to form a packet. The potato will "stick" to the fish. Sprinkle with paprika.
• Heat enough oil in a skillet to coat bottom of pan over medium high heat. If using garlic or onion, sauté 1 or 2 minutes and remove if desired (you can also leave them in). Cook potato-fish packet 3 minutes on each side.
• Serve over sautéed spinach, arugula, or broccoli rabe.

BACON-WRAPPED HALIBUT, SHREDDED BRUSSELS SPROUTS & SOUR CREAM & CHIVE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Halve the potatoes and place in a pot. Cover the potatoes with water, bring to a boil, then salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Halve the Brussels sprouts, place them cut side down on a cutting board, thinly slice lengthwise, and reserve.
• While the potatoes cook, season the fish with Old Bay and wrap the fish with bacon. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet. When the oil is hot, add the fish and cook for 2 minutes on each side to crisp up the bacon, then transfer to the oven for 7 to 8 minutes to cook through.
• While the fish cooks, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the sliced Brussels sprouts and toss to coat in the oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the shallots, bell pepper, garlic, and thyme. Toss for a minute or two more, then add about 1/2 cup of the stock and cook it out for 2 to 3 minutes more. Turn off the heat and melt in the butter, then garnish with the tarragon.
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Mash with the sour cream, the chives, the remaining 1/4 cup of stock, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the fish on the Brussels sprouts with mashers and a wedge of lemon alongside.

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.
• This will make a fish lover out of anyone!
