Herb And Wine Halibut Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the halibut steaks on all sides until nicely browned. Remove from pan, and set aside.
• Pour the wine into the pan, and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce to almost nothing, then stir in the garlic, butter and capers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for a minute to blend the flavors.
• Return the steaks to the pan, and coat them with sauce. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve fish immediately with the sauce from the pan poured over it.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven's broiler and coat a baking sheet or broiling pan with olive oil.
• Rinse the fish and pat dry. Place on the greased pan, and brush with olive oil or coat with olive oil cooking spray. Squeeze the juice from the lemon wedges over the entire fillet, and season generously with salt first, then garlic and finally dill.
• Broil for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the fillet is opaque and can be flaked with a fork. Broiling time may depend on the thickness of your fillet.

Steps:

• Lightly rinse the halibut steaks and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place each steak between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten to about 1/2-inch thick.
• Dip each steak into the beaten egg white, then into the breadcrumbs.
• Set aside.
• Lightly coat a cast iron skillet or a heavy nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
• Place over high heat and add the halibut steaks.
• Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown and fish flakes easily when prodded with a fork.
• Remove halibut steaks; keep warm.
• Heat olive oil in a heavy saucepan; add shallot and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the wine and lemon juice.
• Cook over medium-high heat until sauce is reduced by half.
• Add the chicken broth, capers, parsley, and cornstarch mixture.
• Bring sauce to a boil.
• Arrange halibut steaks on heated serving plates.
• Tap each with some of the sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a medium gratin dish or baking dish, make a bed of herbs with the thyme, parsley and bay leaves, scatter the garlic on top. Reserve 4 parsley sprigs, for garnish. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper and lay on top of the herbs. Add in the vermouth, and drizzle 2 tablespoons of the oil over the fish, cover loosely with foil. Bake until the fish is opaque, about 20 to 22 minutes.
• Carefully, pour the pan juices into a small saucepan and set the fish aside. Keep the garlic and 4 thyme sprigs for garnish. Bring the sauce to a boil, over high heat, reduce by about 1/2, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside. De-bone the fish; running a spoon handle along each side of the center bone, then lift the bone out. Peel side off and discard. Divide fish steaks in half crosswise, among 4 serving plates. Pour sauce over fish and serve with a dollop of tapenade, if using, on top and garnish with the thyme sprigs, garlic, and tomatoes.
• To make the tapenade: Combine the olives, oil, thyme, and lemon zest, stir to combine. Season with pepper and set aside.

Steps:

• Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 400°F. Toast fennel seeds in heavy small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet; cool. Finely chop fennel seeds.
• Combine butter, parsley, mustard and fennel seeds in small bowl. Mash with rubber spatula until smooth and well blended. Season fennel butter to taste with salt and pepper. (Fennel butter can be made 4 days ahead and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.) Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Place fish in 8x8-inch glass baking dish. Pour wine over fish. Bake until opaque in center, basting occasionally with wine and juices in dish, about 15 minutes.
• Divide fish among 4 plates. Spread all of fennel butter over fish.

Steps:

• In a pot of boiling salted water set over high heat, cook the haricots verts for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Drain and place them in the center of a large, warm serving platter. Cover and keep warm.
• Season the halibut on both sides with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the fish for about 3 minutes, until lightly browned. Turn, reduce the heat to medium, and cook about 4 minutes longer, until the fish is opaque in the center and browned on both sides. Put the fish on the platter with the beans and cover to keep warm.
• Pour off any oil in the pan and add the wine and lemon juice. Raise the heat to high and deglaze the pan by scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sauce reduces by half, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat and stir in the butter, a piece at a time, to enrich and flavor the sauce. Add the scallions, capers, and tomato. Season with salt and pepper, and pour over the fish on the platter. Serve immediately.
