Garlic Halibut Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
• Cut off the top of the head of garlic and brush off some of the outer paper skin, leaving just the individually wrapped cloves. On a piece of foil, pour the olive oil over the garlic, then wrap the foil around it and place it in the oven for 45 minutes, until it's completely soft. For the recipe, you'll only need six cloves from the head, but it's worth making a whole head to keep the rest for spreading on crusty bread or adding to salads.
• Raise the oven temperature to 425˚F.
• Heat the butter in an oven-proof pan over low heat. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. When the butter is melted, add the halibut and put it into the oven for 10 minutes. The fish should be just cooked and opaque throughout.
• While the halibut cooks, blend or food process together six cloves of garlic, the mayonnaise, and parmesan. When the halibut is done, pull it out and generously smear the mayonnaise mixture on the top. Switch the oven to a high broil and return the pan to the still-hot oven for 4 minutes under the broiler, until the top is almost entirely golden brown.
• Remove and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
• Rub the halibut fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish, then press the cilantro leaves onto the top of the halibut. Bake the halibut in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine, and season with dill and tarragon. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the chicken broth, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then dissolve the flour into the water, and stir into the boiling sauce. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the halibut to serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and Old Bay together; brush the halibut fillets with the mixture.
• Arrange fillets in a single layer in an ovenproof baking dish; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
• Melt butter in a small saucean over low heat; add in garlic; stir/saute until the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
• Remove pan from heat; add in lemon juice, lemon zest, and herbs; store in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake the fish.
• Preheat oven to 400°; let fish come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
• Melt the garlic butter and pour it over the fish.
• Bake the fish for 10 minutes, basting once with the sauce.
• The fish is done when it is opaque all the way through when slashed in the thickest part or an instant-read thermometer reads 165°.
• Serve fish with the garlic butter spooned over each portion.

Steps:

• Rinse the fish fillets under cold running water and blot dry with paper towels. Arrange the fillets in a nonreactive baking dish just large enough to hold them.
• Prepare the marinade: Pound the garlic, ginger, cilantro leaves and root, if using, and sugar to a paste in a mortar with a pestle. (I would suggest starting with pounding the garlic). You could also purée in a mini chopper or food processor. Work in the fish sauce, sake, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Spoon marinade on both sides of the fillets. Cover the fish with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning the fillets once or twice.
• Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. When ready to cook, oil a fish basket, if using, or brush and oil the grill grate. Place the fillets in the basket on the hot grate. Grill until each side of the fillets is browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If grilling directly on the grate, brush the tops of the fillets with oil before gently turning them with a spatula. To test for doneness, press a fillet with your finger. It should break into clean flakes when fully cooked. Another test is to insert a metal skewer in the side of a fillet. when it is done the skewer will come out very hot to the touch after 20 seconds.
• Note: To grill a fish fillet on a fish grate, place the grate on top of the regular grate and preheat to high. Oil the fish grate with a folded paper towel dipped in oil or lift it with tongs and spray with oil. As an added precaution against sticking, brush or spray the fillets themselves with oil.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, (except butter, 2 tablespoons white wine and 1/2 cup chicken stock) and let fish marinate for 1 hour. Remove from marinade, remove excess garlic, and pan saute until medium. Then deglaze with 2 tablespoons wine, 1/2 cup chicken stock and melt butter into the sauce. Let sauce reduce and season with salt and pepper. Serve fish with sauce poured over the top. Garnish with green onions and serve the Tomato-Caper Bruschetta alongside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Add bread and toast until light brown. Remove, rub with whole cloves, and drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil.
• In a medium saute pan, heat remaining olive oil, add onions, capers and diced garlic, and cook until translucent. Deglaze with wine, then add tomatoes and sugar. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Top toasted baguette with tomato-caper sauce and garnish with Parmesan.

Steps:

• To prepare the topping: Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, Parmesan, green onion and Tabasco.
• To prepare the halibut: Place fish on a broiling pan.
• Sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Bake in a preheated 450-degree oven 12 minutes per inch of thickness, or until fish tests done.
• Remove fish from oven and place a rack close to the broiling element.
• Turn the oven to broil.
• Spread the top of the fish with garlic topping.
• Broil about 1 minute, or until golden.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
• Put fish in an oiled shallow baking dish and sprinkle with teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Force garlic through a garlic press into a bowl, then whisk in oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Whisk in mayonnaise and spread over fish.
• Bake, uncovered, until fish is just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Spray a non stick skilled with veggie oil and heat until very hot but not smoking.
• Add the filets ond brown them skin side down for 2 minutes (if skinless only brown for a minute and you may want to turn the heat down) Add onion, green onions, garlic, ginger& pepper flakes, cook 1 minute.
• Reduce heat and flip the fish add wine sugar& broth.
• Cover pan and simmer for apprx 8 minutes or until the fish is done, it will flake if checked with a fork.
• Serve with some of the onions.
• and sauce over the fish.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat. Squeeze the juice from the lime wedges over fish fillets, then season them with salt and pepper.
• Grill fish fillets for about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and fish can be flaked with a fork. Remove to a warm serving plate.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, remaining lime juice and cilantro. Serve fish with the cilantro butter sauce.
