Chicken Fried Halibut Recipes

LIGHT AND CRISPY FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs, milk, and flour together in a shallow bowl. Stir panko bread crumbs and seasoned bread crumbs together in another bowl.
• Gently dip halibut squares into egg mixture, the press gently into bread crumbs mixture to generously coat completely. Place breaded halibut in a single layer on a plate while breading the rest.
• Cook halibut in preheated oil until golden brown and crisp on the outside, 4 to 6 minutes.

SECRET FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Cut halibut into portion size pieces (this will vary with every family); set aside.
• In gallon ziplock bag combine all dry ingredients; seal bag and shake to mix. Add halibut pieces to dry ingredients and shake thoroughly again.
• In small bowl combine mayonnaise and mustard; mix thoroughly (secret ingredient!).
• Add some oil to skillet over med heat until oil begins to ripple. You will need to add more oil in small amounts at a time throughout cooking.
• Add halibut a few pieces at a time to skillet until full. DO NOT OVERLAP FISH. Cook until just beginning to brown on bottom side and flip. Once turned, lightly baste browned side of fish with mayonnaise mixture. Turn fish once more and repeat basting. The key to this step is to re brown basted sides of fish before removing from pan. The pieces should turn a deep brown (not black but close). That is when you know they are done.
• Serve while still hot. (May be kept in warm oven until all fish is done).

PAN FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Whisk egg in a small bowl.
• Combine flour, herbes de Provence, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a separate small bowl.
• Cut halibut into 4 equal pieces.
• Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat.
• Dip each piece of halibut in whisked egg.
• Dredge all sides of each piece in flour mixture to evenly coat; tap off excess flour.
• Place coated pieces immediately in the hot olive oil.
• Cook the halibut until lightly browned, about 5 minutes; turn and cook until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, another 2 minutes.

BEER BATTER FOR HALIBUT OR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat deep fryer or skillet with vegetable oil deep enough to cover meat to 375.
• Beat egg, and add remaining ingredients.
• Rinse and dry meat on paper towels in order for it to hold batter.
• Dip meat into batter and place in deep fryer or skillet.
• Cook for approx 4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.

EASY PAN-FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Combine butter, honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Portion halibut by cutting it into 3 or 4 pieces with a sharp knife. Set aside a little of the marinade and brush each side of the halibut with the remaining butter-honey mixture.
• Heat a skillet over high heat until it is sizzling hot - test by adding a drop of water to the skillet. If it sizzles and immediately evaporates when it hits the skillet, it is hot enough. Sear halibut for 90 seconds on each side. Reduce heat to medium and cook each side until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with reserved butter-honey marinade.

YUMMY FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Cut Halibut in to 1x1 inch chunks. Removed skin before if still on fish. It sometimes is easier to freeze the fish until solid then place in refrigerator for 24 hours and cutting while still mostly frozen.
• Mix Miracle Whip and mustard together, along with the tbsp of dill, the tsp of paprika and the 1/2 tsp of cayenne.
• Mix the flour, breadcrumbs, dill, paprika, cayenne, onion powder and pepper together.
• Coat chunks of fish in miracle whip sauce liberally then throw in to the flour mixture and toss til well coated. Lay on sheet pan until ready to fry.
• Heat oil until there are ripples but not so hot that its smoking.
• Gently set each individual chunk of fish in to hot oil. Once the side is medium brown, flip and fry the other side til evenly colored.
• Remove from oit and set on plate covered in paper napkins.
• Immediately salt lightly and serve. BBQ sauce tastes awesome with it! Or orange marmalade cooked in a saucepan with chili flakes and ginger then cooled.

CHICKEN-FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• 1. Milk dredging- Whish buttermilk, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Slice halibut horizontally, to make thinner fillets, and cover in the buttermilk. Let sit for about 1 hour at room temperature.
• 2. Gravy- In a medium pan add the milk and seasonings. Heat on low for about 6 minutes. Whisk in the butter and flour, turning heat to medium, Continue to whisk often until gravy is thick(about 10 minutes). Taste to adjust seasoning. Keep warm.
• 3. Dredge for fish- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour with the dredge seasonings. Prepare a baking sheet lined with a rack.
• 4. Pour oil into a deep-sided pan,(about 2 inches deep) and heat until shimmering, but not real hot. Remove the halibut one at a time from the buttermilk soak,wiping off and excess, and dredge in the flour mixture, pressin into the fish . Gently lay the fillets into the hot oil,i n small batches so you don't overcrowd the pan. Fry about 5 minutes on each side, until golden , then remove to the rack to drain. Repeat with remaining halibut. I like to serve with mashed potatoes, gravy and peas.
