PESTO HALIBUT

BAKED HALIBUT WITH PESTO

Steps:

• 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.

HALIBUT WITH A PINE NUT CRUST

Steps:

• Let the fish fillets warm on the counter for at least half an hour prior to cooking them. You want them to be almost room temperature before placing them in the oven, this will help them cook through before the topping is too brown.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the fish in a large shallow baking pan. Mix together the pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, pesto and mayonnaise. Divide this mixture in half and then use a rubber scraper to spread the crust mixture over the top surface of each fillet. Pile it on so that all of the topping is used.
• Bake the fish 10-20 minutes, until the fish is firm to the touch and the crust begins to very lightly brown. The thickness of your fish will determine the cooking time. Serve hot with lemon wedges. Enjoy!

• Press pistachio mixture evenly into top side of each halibut fillet.
• Place halibut in baking dish, pistachio side up. Bake for 8 to10 minutes, or until halibut flakes easily when tested with a fork.

HALIBUT WITH 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.
