Halibut With Citrus Butter And Radishes Recipes

HALIBUT WITH CITRUS BUTTER AND RADISHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the red onion, radishes, thyme, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Season the halibut with salt and arrange over the roasted vegetables. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake until the halibut is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the blood orange juice, grapefruit juice and lime juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer until combined. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, waiting until the butter is emulsified before adding the next piece. Season with salt. Keep warm over very low heat until ready to serve.
• Peel the whole grapefruit with a paring knife, removing the white pith. Slice between the membranes to remove the segments. Transfer the halibut and vegetables to a platter with a spatula and scatter the grapefruit segments around them. Drizzle with the citrus butter.

HALIBUT WITH LEMON-BUTTER AND CRISPY SHALLOTS

Steps:

• For the lemon butter: Whisk together the lemon juice, salt, pepper, lemon zest and butter in a deep medium bowl until well blended (mixture will be like a thick sauce). Set aside until ready to use.
• For the halibut and crispy shallots: Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and garlic in an 8-by-8-by-2-inch glass dish. Whisk the marinade to blend. Add the halibut and turn several times to coat evenly. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes.
• Combine the grapeseed oil and shallots in a medium heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until the oil heats up and the shallots turn golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the shallots with a slotted spoon to several layers of paper towels to drain and crisp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper just before using.
• Heat a large dry nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lift the halibut from the marinade, letting the excess drain off. Add the halibut to the hot skillet and sear 3 minutes. Turn the fish over using a flexible metal spatula. Sear until still slightly pink in the center, about 3 minutes longer, depending on thickness. Transfer the halibut to plates. Top with a generous dollop of lemon-butter and pile the shallots alongside or scatter around the fish. Garnish with the lemon wedges and serve.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH LEMONS, OLIVES AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place fish in a baking dish, brush fillets with 1 teaspoon of oil and season with salt and chile pepper. Top each fillet with a rosemary branch and several slices of lemon. Drizzle remaining oil over lemon slices and sprinkle with additional salt. Scatter olives over fish and pan.
• Bake until just opaque, about 10 minutes. If lemon slices have not browned or singed (this will depend on how thinly you slice them), place pan under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with more olive oil; sprinkle with more salt and chili, if desired.

HALIBUT WITH BROWN BUTTER, LEMON AND SAGE

Steps:

• Season fish on both sides with plenty of salt and pepper.
• Pour oil into a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron or nonstick) and set over medium-high heat. When oil is hot (but not smoking), swirl to evenly coat the pan, then add fish in a single layer. Let cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes, until first side is nicely browned. Adjust the heat as needed to produce a steady sizzle and prevent scorching.
• Flip and cook fish for about another 3 minutes, until just done. (To test for doneness, use a fork to gently probe the flesh: it should flake easily.) Transfer cooked fish to a warm platter or serving plates.
• Make the sauce: Place skillet back on the stove over medium-high heat. Add butter and sage leaves. Cook butter, swirling the pan, until foamy and just beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and stir in lemon juice.
• Spoon butter sauce and sage leaves over fish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and parsley. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.
