Halibut With Pesto Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a small bowl, combine oil, sauce mix and lemon juice; brush over both sides of fillets. Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. , Bake, uncovered, until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 12-15 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli rabe and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked broccoli rabe to an ice bath and let cool, about 3 minutes. Shake off the excess water and transfer to a food processor. Add the garlic, walnuts, honey, salt, and pepper process until smooth. With the machine running gradually pour in the extra-virgin olive oil. Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and stir in the Parmesan. Cover and set aside.;
• In a medium, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil and vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Using a deep-fry thermometer, heat the oil to 200 degrees F. Reduce the heat to low to sustain the 200 degree F temperature. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Gently place the fish in the oil making sure it is submerged beneath the surface. Poach the fish until just cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes.;
• Place about 1/2 cup of Broccoli Rabe Pesto on a serving plate and gently smooth out to make a bed for the fish. Using a slotted fish spatula gently transfer the cooked fish from the poaching oil to the serving plate, placing the fish on top of the bed of pesto. Serve immediately.;

Steps:

• Lightly spray the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high or preheat the broiler.
• In a small bowl, stir together the pesto ingredients. Brush half the pesto on one side of the fish. Place the fish with the pesto side up on the grill rack or in the broiler pan. Set the remaining pesto aside.
• Grill or broil about 6 inches from the heat for 4 minutes. Turn the fish over. Spread with the remaining pesto. Grill or broil for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork (for halibut) or is the desired doneness (for salmon). Watch carefully so the walnuts don't burn.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the oil, sauce mix and lemon juice.
• Brush over both sides of fillets.
• Place in a greased 13" x 9" baking dish.
• Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Wipe the steaks dry with paper towels. Spread the pesto on both sides of the steaks and allow them to sit for an hour at room temperature.
• Heat coals or broiler and grill the steaks on both sides until cooked. Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper and serve, garnished with lemon or lime, cut in half.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat.
• Meanwhile to prepare pesto, place 1 1/2 cups cilantro, 3 tablespoons garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoons salt and pepper in a food processor and blend.
• Add olive oil, slowly, in a steady stream at low speed until combined and set aside.
• Combine lemon juice, remaining 1/2 cup cilantro, minced garlic and remaining 1/4 teaspoons salt in a small bowl and pour over fish.
• Grill fish 6-8 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with fork.
• Serve fish with the cilantro pesto.

Steps:

• Roast the hazelnuts lightly on a baking sheet in the 350F oven until a nice aroma emerges, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Place the basil, cheese, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts and garlic in a food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes coarse paste. In the meantime, add oil in a steady stream. Pulse a few more times until emulsified and stop when your favourite consistency is achieved (I like keeping some hazelnuts in large chunks). Adjust with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, lightly sprinkle the halibut with salt and pepper and lay on an oiled baking sheet. Broil at 400F until flakey, for about 7 minutes or so depending on the thickness of the fish. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and test with a knife. The center may still look slightly pink but that's okay. Smear the pesto on top of the fish and broil until top nicely browned and the centre of the fish is no longer pink but moist, for about 5 minutes. Don't overcook. Take the fish out of the oven, cover with a piece of aluminum foil and let stand for a few minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush each halibut fillet with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Spread each fillet with thin layer of pesto, dividing equally.
• Whisk lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in medium bowl to blend. Add arugula; toss to coat. Divide arugula among 4 plates; top with grilled halibut.
