Broiled Halibut With Herb Butter Recipes

BROILED HALIBUT WITH SUMMER HERBS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Cut the halibut into 4 pieces; arrange on a foil-lined baking sheet, cut-side down. Squeeze 1 lemon half over the fish and season with salt and pepper; spread the mayonnaise over the tops. Bake until the fish is almost cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Switch the oven to broil. Broil the fish until the tops are golden, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the chives, dill and parsley in a small bowl; set aside. Toss the arugula with the juice of the remaining lemon half and 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Top each fish fillet with the herb mixture. Drizzle the arugula salad and tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.

BROILED HALIBUT WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Brush broiler rack with a little olive oil.
• Lightly sprinkle halibut with salt and pepper.
• Combine melted butter with garlic, chopped parsley, if using, and herb seasoning blend.
• Brush the fish fillets with the herb butter mixture.
• Place on broiler rack. Broil for about 10 to 14 minutes, depending on thickness, turning once about halfway through.
• Serve this halibut with potatoes or rice, spinach, or another green vegetable. If desired, serve with a creamy sauce. The recipe is very easy to scale down for two people. Use 2 fillets, a small clove of garlic, about 1 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of parsley along with a little less seasoning.

BROILED HALIBUT WITH LEMON AND HERBS

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter, shallots, dill weed, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, garlic and salt; mix well.
• Rinse halibut steaks in cold water and pat dry on paper towels.
• In a 8 inch x 8 inch oven proof casserole dish, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place under the broiler on HIGH heat for about 2 minutes or until the butter has melted.
• Place the halibut steaks in the casserole dish.
• Spread one half the lemon/herb mixture equally over each steak.
• Place under the broiler on HIGH heat and broil for 6 minutes.
• Turn halibut steaks over and spread the remaining lemon/herb mixture evenly over the steaks.
• Continue to broil on HIGH heat for another 5 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook the fish.
• Serve with cooked basmati brown rice.
• You may also use finely chopped chives or green onions instead of the shallots.

EASY HALIBUT FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Make little aluminum foil trays sized to fit each fillet.
• Wipe the bottom of each tray with olive oil.
• Put the fillets ugly side up (skin side even if the skin is now removed) on the trays.
• Mix the butter with the chopped herbs throughly.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the butter on the halibut.
• Broil for 4 minutes.
• Carefully turn each fillet over, not spilling any of the melted herb butter.
• Broil for 4 more minutes.
• Remove and plate, pouring the melted sauce over each fillet.

HALIBUT WITH HERBED BUTTER

Steps:

• For the herb butter, in a medium bowl, combine the butter, garlic, chopped herbs, and lemon zest plus salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a small saucepan.
• Heat the olive oil in a grill pan over high heat. Sprinkle the halibut generously on both sides with salt and pepper. When the grill pan is hot, place the fish on the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes on one side.
• Meanwhile, heat the herb butter just until melted.
• Turn the fish, lower the heat to medium, and pour the melted herb butter over the fish. Cover the pan, turn off the heat, and allow to sit for 3 minutes.
• To serve, place the fish on a serving platter, spoon the herb butter over the fish, sprinkle with extra parsley, and serve hot.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH LEMON-HERB CRUST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
• Add melted butter and toss with a fork to form a crumbly mixture.
• In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, green onion and tomato. (The recipe says to add 1 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon but I never have it so I omit it).
• Arrange fish, skin side down, on a platter. Spread each fillet with mayonnaise mixture. Press crumbs mixture onto each fillet.
• Preheat barbecue on high for 10 minutes. Reduce to medium-high and barbecue fish skin side down until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is nicely brown - about 10-12 minutes.
• Drizzle lemon juice over fillets and serve immediately.

BROILED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Combine the above marinade ingredients in a non metallic container.
• Marinate halibut steaks in this mixture for an hour, turning the halibut steaks after 30 minutes to ensure they are marinated equally on both sides.
• Remove from the marinade and let excess marinade drain off of steaks.
• Place the halibut steaks on a broiler pan, making sure they are not touching each other.
• Place the pan about 4 inches underneath the broiler element.
• Broil about 10 minutes per inch of thickness measured at the thickest part, or until the fish flakes when tested with a fork.
• This dish may be garnished with lemon wedges and a small parsley sprig.
