PESTO HALIBUT

The mildness of halibut contrasts perfectly with the robust flavor of pesto in this recipe. It takes only minutes to get the fish ready for the oven, leaving you plenty of time to get started on your side dishes. Nearly anything goes well with this entree. -April Showalter, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

HALIBUT STUFFED WITH KALE AND FETA PESTO

Instead of marinating the halibut fillets, which many recipes call for, I cut slits into the top of each fillet and stuff them with a pesto made from kale, scallions, celery, and feta. My family and friends regularly request​ this clever, superb-tasting dish.

Halibut Stuffed With Kale and Feta Pesto image

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Using the grapeseed oil, lightly grease a rectangular baking dish large enough to accommodate the fillets in a single layer.
  • Place the halibut fillets in the prepared baking dish and season lightly with salt and pepper. Use a sharp knife to slash several deep cuts in the top of each fillet, being careful not to cut all the way through the fish.
  • In a mini food processor, combine the scallions, kale, celery, and cheese and process until the ingredients are crumb-sized. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and pulse until a paste forms, adding more oil as needed to achieve a good consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Use a small spoon or your finger to stuff the pesto into the slits in each fillet, filling them with as much pesto as will fit and allowing it to overflow. Roast until the fish is opaque at the center when tested with the tip of a knife, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 3 minutes before serving.

1 teaspoon grapeseed oil
6 skinless halibut fillets, about 6 oz (185 g) each
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions, white and pale green parts, each cut crosswise into 4 equal pieces
2 cups (4 1/2 oz / 140 g) coarsely chopped stemmed kale
1 rib celery, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup (1 1/4 oz / 40 g) crumbled feta cheese
1-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Pan-Seared Marinated Halibut Fillets image

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.

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the butter in a casserole dish large enough to hold the fish in one layer, and place the dish in the oven to melt the butter. Remove the dish from the oven and coat both sides of the fish with butter by flipping it once in the dish. (If the fillet has skin, the skin side should be down after you flip the fish.)
  • Brush the pesto on top of the halibut flesh. (At this point, the fish can be covered and refrigerated for up to 12 hours.) Bake it for 15 - 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it is just cooked through and flakes easily. Serve it immediately.
  • Place each piece of fish on a separate piece of aluminum foil large enough to fold into a packet. Melt the butter, then brush each fillet with the butter and top it with the pesto. Fold the foil around the fish, making a packet. Place the packets in the slow cooker, stacking as necessary, and cook on low for 7 - 8 hours or on high for 3 1/2 - 4 hours. (Slow cooker cooking times may vary—Get to know your slow cooker and, if necessary, adjust cooking times accordingly.)
  • To make delicious fresh pesto, in a blender or food processor, combine 2 cups (tightly packed) fresh basil leaves, 2 chopped garlic cloves, 2 Tbsp. pine nuts, 1/2 cup olive oil, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Process or blend it until it is coarsely mixed.
