Broiled Halibut With Ricotta Pea Puree Recipes

BROILED HALIBUT WITH BECHAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook's Note: The halibut can be substituted with 24 ounces of sole fillets. Reduce the cooking time in the wine mixture to 3 to 4 minutes.
• Spray a 7 by 11-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
• For the bechamel sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• For the halibut: In a large saucepan, bring the wine and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the halibut. Cover the pan and cook until the flesh is opaque, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a fish spatula, carefully remove the fish and arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a broiler. Spoon the bechamel sauce over the fish and top with the Parmesan. Dot with butter and broil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes.

BROILED HALIBUT WITH SUMMER HERBS

• 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.
