Peas With Halibut Recipes

Steps:

• Divide bacon evenly between four 3-quart Dutch ovens. Place each over medium heat and cook until bacon is crisp and fat is rendered. Divide onions evenly between Dutch-ovens and add 1 tablespoon water to each; cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper and place one in each of the 4 Dutch-ovens. Add onions, peas, and lettuce around fillets; top each with 1 tablespoon butter and season with salt and pepper. Divide chicken stock evenly between dishes, cover, and place over high heat until liquid comes to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until a metal skewer inserted inside the fish for 5 seconds feels warm when touched, about 5 minutes.
• Serve immediately sprinkled with chopped mint.

Steps:

• Fish: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a small baking sheet or glass baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour the mixture into a sealable plastic bag or a glass baking dish. Add the halibut and coat it with the lemon mixture. Refrigerate for 35 minutes. Remove the halibut from the marinade and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 to 18 minutes.
• Salad: Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and red bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat, then add the peas, the chopped mint, lemon zest, and thyme. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Spoon the salad onto 4 plates and top with the halibut. Garnish with mint sprigs and serve.

Steps:

• If using bacon, cut it into 1/4-inch bits, and render it with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet, which can later be covered. Stir until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, and reserve. If using olive oil or butter, put 3 tablespoons in skillet over medium high heat.
• Brown fish in fat quickly, just a couple of minutes to a side, sprinkling it with salt and pepper as it browns. Remove, and set aside.
• Add onions to pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add peas and lettuce, and cook, stirring, until glistening. Add a little more salt and pepper. Return fish to pan, simply resting it on top of peas-lettuce mixture. Turn heat to medium-low, cover, and cook gently until fish is done. (A thin-bladed knife inserted into its thickest part will meet little or no resistance.)
• Remove fish to a platter. Stir bacon and mint into peas mixture. Taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve fish with vegetable mixture on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil and preheat 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the carrots and onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Brush the fish with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the paprika; brush to coat the fish evenly with paprika.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven, place the fish in the center and scatter the onion and carrots around. Broil until the fish is golden and just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, microwave the peas in a bowl with 1/4 cup water until just tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer the peas and liquid to a food processor and pulse with the ricotta, butter and a pinch of salt to make a slightly chunky puree. Divide the puree among plates and top with the fish, carrots, onion and pan juices.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the lime juice, ginger, 1 tablespoons of the oil, and 1/4 teaspoons each of the salt and pepper.
• Add the snap peas, onion and sesame seeds, if using, and toss to coat.
• Heat the remaining tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and season the fish with with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.
• Cook the fish until opaque throughout, 3-5 minutes per side.
• Serve with the snap pea salad and lime wedges.
