Pan Seared Halibut With Charmoula Over Quinoa And Asparagus Recipes

PAN SEARED HALIBUT RECIPE WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Use paper towels to pat the halibut fillets completely dry - this will ensure even browning. Season the fish on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the fish fillets in a single layer (you can do it in batches if all the fish won't fit in a single layer). Sear, without moving, for 3-4 minutes, until the edges of the fish are opaque. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes, until cooked through.
• Remove the fish from the pan and cover tightly with foil to keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same pan. Wait for it to melt, then heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is browned and smells nutty.TIP: If you like garlic, you can also use this lemon butter sauce recipe.
• Use the Zulay Kitchen Lemon Squeezer to squeeze all the juice from both halves of the lemon into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until volume is reduced by half. The lemon butter sauce will still be thin.
• Drizzle a little lemon butter sauce over each serving plate. Place the pan seared halibut fillets over the sauce, then drizzle more sauce on top.

SKILLET EGGS WITH MUSHROOMS AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Put the asparagus and mushrooms in separate bowls; toss each with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 garlic clove, 1 teaspoon thyme and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Place the asparagus and mushrooms on opposite sides of a grill basket and grill, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned around the edges, about 3 minutes for the asparagus and 7 minutes for the mushrooms. Remove to a large plate.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet on the grill; add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Crack the eggs into a bowl, then pour into the skillet; season with salt. Scatter the vegetables around the egg whites, avoiding the yolks. Cook, rotating the skillet, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 5 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the bread until lightly charred, 1 minute per side.
• Remove the skillet from the grill and sprinkle with parsley, parmesan and red pepper flakes. Serve with the grilled bread.

SEARED HALIBUT WITH PARMIGIANA ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• For halibut: Preheat a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and butter. Season halibut with salt and pepper and dust with the flour, shaking off the excess. As your butter starts to brown, gently lay each steak in your pan. Allow to cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
• For asparagus: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Trim and clean your asparagus. In a large bowl add cleaned asparagus, minced garlic, minced shallots, and extra-virgin olive oil. Season, to taste. Lay prepared asparagus on a half sheet pan and roast until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Right before taking your roasted asparagus out of the oven liberally top with freshly grated parmesan cheese. The heat of your pan should melt your cheese.
• To serve, place 4 pieces of asparagus on a plate, top with golden brown halibut steak. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Garnish with a sprig of chervil or chives

PAN-SEARED MARINATED HALIBUT FILLETS

Steps:

• In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the 6 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add fish, seal bag, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• In a large flat skillet (do not use a ridged pan), pour light olive oil or vegetable oil, tilting pan to spread evenly. Warm over high heat until smoking, then add fish fillets. Brush top and sides with marinade. Cook until seared, about 3 minutes; turn and sear other side, about 3 more minutes. Brush top and sides with marinade again. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until centers of fillets are just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more on each side depending on thickness, brushing with marinade as before. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve.

PAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH ROASTED HEIRLOOM TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the grapeseed oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Sear the fish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add the thyme and juice of 1/2 a lemon and baste the fish with the sauce. Remove the halibut from the pan to a serving platter. Add the olive oil to the pan and stir in the tomatoes, the garlic and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Cook for 2 minutes and then add the parsley. Stir to combine and serve on top of the fish.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH SOPPRESSATA AND FENNEL

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the soppressata and cook until lightly browned around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the soppressata to a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the fennel to the pan and cook until just softened and lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the browned soppressata, tomatoes, jalapeno juice, pickled jalapenos and 2 cups water. Cook until the liquid has reduced by almost half and the tomatoes just start to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the butter. Turn off the heat and cover with a lid.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high to high heat. Sprinkle the halibut liberally with salt and pepper. When the oil just starts to smoke, gently place 2 of the fillets in the pan and sear until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a large plate. Sear the remaining fillets, using the remaining vegetable oil if needed.
• To serve, divide the soppressata mixture and broth evenly among 4 shallow bowls. Top with the halibut, a drizzle of olive oil and garnish with the reserved fennel fronds. Serve with crusty bread if desired.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the orange and tangerine. Working over a large bowl, carefully cut between the membranes to release the citrus segments, allowing them to fall into the bowl along with any juices. Add the avocado, onions, cilantro and lime zest and juice to the bowl with the citrus. Gently toss to mix. Season the salsa with salt and pepper.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the halibut liberally with salt and pepper. Add the halibut to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the halibut to serving plates, top with salsa and serve.
