• Place fish on greased rimmed baking sheet or broiling pan; broil for 5 minutes.
• With a lifter, turn fish over; spread mushroom mixture evenly over fish.

PICKLED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Mix the salt and water, and pour brine over mushrooms. Let mushrooms sit in the refrigerator, covered for 24 hours.
• Remove mushrooms from brine, rinse, and then lay them out on paper towels to dry. In a saucepan, mix the vinegar with the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.

HALIBUT WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat 2 tablespoons oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, shallots, garlic, and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the leeks and shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Spread into 2 9 × 13-inch baking dishes, dividing evenly. Top with the fish; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add half of the mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Raise heat to medium-high; cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Scatter the mushrooms over the fish. Repeat with the remaining oil and mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Bake until the fish is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to plates. Drizzle with chive oil. Serve with beet salad.
• Chive Oil
• Cook the chives in a small pot of boiling water until bright green, about 10 seconds. Drain; run under cold water. Pat dry.
• Put the chives in a blender. With the machine running, add the oil in a slow stream; puree. Let stand 1 hour. Strain through a damp cheesecloth-lined sieve; discard the solids.
• Beet Salad
• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Drizzle the beets with 1/4 cup oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil. Bake until tender, about 65 minutes.
• Let cool. Rub off the skins with paper towels; discard the skins. Cut into wedges. Put the golden and red beets into separate bowls.
• Whisk the vinegar and remaining oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle the beets in the bowls with dressing. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Toss together just before serving.
