Halibut In Escabeche Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the halibut fillets into 4-ounce pieces no thicker than 1-inch each.
• In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat the olive oil. Add the carrot, onion, celery, mustard seed and coriander seed. Sweat until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Add the wine, vinegar and stock; bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper, stir in half the basil and half the chervil.
• Arrange the fish so it fits snugly in 1 layer in a casserole or baking dish. Pour the boiling marinade over the fish. The fish must be completely covered by the liquid, which will cook the fish as it cools. Allow to cool to room temperature, about 10 to 15 minutes. You can either serve immediately or serve chilled.
• Remove the fish from the liquid and reserve the liquid to use as a dressing. Plate the fish and garnish with the carrots, celery and onions. In a salad bowl, toss the lettuces and remaining basil and chervil with some of the dressing. Serve alongside the fish and vegetables.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pat tilapia dry with a paper towel. Cut 2 to 3 slits on either side of the fish. Sprinkle salt on top. Fry in the hot oil until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add red bell pepper and ginger; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Mix water, vinegar, and sugar together in a bowl. Pour into the onion mixture in the skillet. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add cornstarch. Boil, stirring often, until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over the fish.

Steps:

• Create an Italian herb baste by mixing together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, parsley, basil, shallots, garlic, and Parmesan in a bowl.
• Preheat a grill to medium, using mesquite wood. Coat the halibut in the Italian herb baste and place fish on the grill. Grill, turning often to avoid burning, until fish is opaque and a knife slides in easily.
• Remove from heat and serve halibut with fresh vegetables and a starch of choice.

Steps:

• Heat a grill to high. Season the fish with salt and pepper and coat with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Grill until marked on both sides and still raw in the center. Set aside.Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until tender. Add the garlic, thyme, and crushed red pepper stir to heat through. Add the juices and heat to boiling season with salt and pepper. Place the fish in the boiling liquid, remove from the heat, cover, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. When done the fish will flake to gentle pressure. Serve portions of fish with some of the onion and liquid. It can be chilled and served cold or at room temperature.From Homemade In A Hurry. Text copyright © 2006 by Andrew Schloss.
