Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt together with salt, pepper, jalapeno pepper, and shallot.
- Rub the saffron between your fingers to crush it, then stir it into the yogurt mixture.
- Let it sit for about 20 minutes (or covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours).
- Sprinkle the halibut with salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
- Add the butter to a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the halibut and set the heat to medium.
- When the butter melts, add the fish and cook gently, turning once or twice for 10 minutes, until a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into the thickest part.
- Just before serving, add the juice, taste, and adjust the seasoning.
- Serve the fish hot, warm, or at room temperature, with the sauce spooned over it. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine 1 tablespoon butter and the saffron in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter melts, about 1 minute. Let cool 5 minutes. Place the remaining butter and the fennel seeds in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the melted saffron butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and continue pulsing until the butter is bright yellow. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap and form into a 4-inch log; freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. (The saffron butter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the sliced fennel, garlic, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons water in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons water and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover with foil and bake until the fennel is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Toss the tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the tomatoes over the fennel. Set the halibut on top of the vegetables; drizzle with the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake, uncovered, until the halibut is firm and no longer translucent, about 12 minutes; remove from the oven and top each piece with a thin slice of saffron butter. Return the halibut to the oven and bake until the butter just begins to melt, about 2 more minutes. Serve with fennel fronds.
HALIBUT WITH SAFFRON VANILLA CREAM SAUCE
A delightful, easy, yet FANCY meal. Perfect for a romantic occasion! I received this recipe at a cooking class by Chef Antoine Moussali from Andria's Countryside Restaurant in Edwardsville, Illinois. He suggests this with a side of Sauteed Broccoli Rabe (I have posted that recipe as well).

Steps:
- Wash the halibut and wrap in paper towels to dry thoroughly.
- Place cream and saffron in a small saucepan and heat on medium-low.
- Cut vanilla bean down the middle (lengthwise) and remove beans (the little black things) by sliding a butter knife down the length of the pod. Place beans AND pod into cream.
- Simmer cream for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a thick cream sauce. If you do not want overpowering vanilla flavor, remove the vanilla pod after 10 minutes.
- Melt butter together with olive oil over med-high heat in a non stick pan.
- Sear halibut (cooking approximately 2-3 minutes on each side) until cooked. . .watch for the side of the fish to turn white (instead of translucent) and that's when it's done.
- Place two pieces of fish on each plate (propping one piece on the other) and drizzle a fair amount of sauce on and around the fish.

HALIBUT FILLETS WITH CREAMY SAFFRON SAUCE
If your experience with saffron is that it fades into the background, you have not been cooking with real saffron. There is no easier way to remedy this than to stir it into an uncooked, yogurt-based sauce in which it plays a leading role. (A touch of mild Aleppo pepper is a fine addition, but a pinch of cayenne - just enough to give a suspicion of its presence - also does nicely.) I like this concoction, which takes just a couple of minutes to prepare, with halibut or other mild fish. The halibut can be lightly poached in butter (you don't need much!) or, if you prefer, steamed or baked with no fat, until just tender.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Wipe the halibut steaks dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with lime or lemon juice and olive oil. Set aside. Mix the saffron with the wine and set aside.
- In a large skillet, soften the shallots, garlic and jalapena pepper in the butter. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the grains are opaque. Pour in the saffron wine mixture and bring to boil, stirring.
- Turn down heat and add a cup of stock or water. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. As the liquid evaporates, add more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue adding liquid and stirring for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is al dente. The liquid should be absorbed; the rice should be creamy.
- While the rice is cooking, broil the halibut steaks. If they are done before the rice, keep warm.
- Add the cream to the rice, stir thoroughly over low heat and correct seasoning. Place half a halibut steak on each plate, plus a serving of rice. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH MUSSEL BUTTER SAUCE
This is a stunning seafood main course that needs only a side dish, such as braised fennel or orzo salad, and some crusty bread served alongside for a delicious dinner party. Halibut is a mild yet buttery and rich fish with firm, meaty flesh. Here, the fish is wrapped in seaweed, which imparts subtle sea flavor and keeps the fish tender and juicy while it roasts. Mussels are steamed open in a bath of clam juice and kelp broth, releasing their flavorful juices into the liquid, which becomes a silky sauce. Earthy saffron adds depth and beautiful color, and just enough butter and cream round out the sauce without making it too heavy. For a festive presentation, top the fish with vibrant salmon roe, which look like jewels and offer pops of brininess.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine kelp with 4 cups of cool water and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of the kelp water.
- On a lightly greased rimmed sheet pan, arrange half of the softened kelp in the center, allowing excess water to drip off kelp and slightly overlapping the pieces. (Do not squeeze water out of the kelp). Rub halibut with 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt. Set halibut in the center of the kelp and lift kelp over the sides of the fish. It should stick to the fish. Top halibut with the remaining kelp, slightly overlapping, and tuck the kelp loosely underneath the fish to enclose it.
- Roast halibut until just opaque in the center, about 15 minutes. A metal cake tester or skewer inserted in the center of the fish should feel warm to the touch. Transfer wrapped halibut to a serving platter.
- Meanwhile, in a large pot, combine clam juice and the reserved kelp water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add mussels, cover and cook until mussels open, 2 to 3 minutes; begin checking mussels at 2 minutes and transfer them to a bowl as they open (discard any that do not open). Tent with foil to keep warm. Pour mussel broth into a separate bowl, leaving behind any grit in the pot, and reserve the broth. Rinse out pot to remove any grit.
- Combine 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice with the saffron in a small bowl and mix well. In the rinsed pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved mussel broth (and any juice that has drained from the mussels) and saffron-lemon juice, and bring to a boil over high. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently to allow flavors to meld, about 5 minutes. Discard garlic.
- While whisking constantly, add butter 1 tablespoon at a time, blending in each addition before adding the next. Then, whisk in heavy cream. Gently simmer until sauce is slightly reduced, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, parsley and tarragon, and season with salt. You should have about 2 cups of sauce.
- Remove the top layer of kelp to reveal halibut. You can serve the kelp to eat with the fish or discard it. Arrange mussels around halibut, removing the top shells for easier eating if you'd like. Spoon some sauce over the mussels and fish, and garnish with parsley and tarragon.
- To serve, divide the fish and mussels among plates. Garnish with more parsley and tarragon. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
