Halibut Cheeks Grilled In Lemon Sauce Recipes

PAN SEARED HALIBUT RECIPE WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Use paper towels to pat the halibut fillets completely dry - this will ensure even browning. Season the fish on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the fish fillets in a single layer (you can do it in batches if all the fish won't fit in a single layer). Sear, without moving, for 3-4 minutes, until the edges of the fish are opaque. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes, until cooked through.
• Remove the fish from the pan and cover tightly with foil to keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same pan. Wait for it to melt, then heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is browned and smells nutty.TIP: If you like garlic, you can also use this lemon butter sauce recipe.
• Use the Zulay Kitchen Lemon Squeezer to squeeze all the juice from both halves of the lemon into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until volume is reduced by half. The lemon butter sauce will still be thin.
• Drizzle a little lemon butter sauce over each serving plate. Place the pan seared halibut fillets over the sauce, then drizzle more sauce on top.

HALIBUT CHEEKS WITH GINGER-ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk the orange juice, cilantro, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the halibut cheeks until golden brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour the orange juice mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove halibut cheeks to a plate and drizzle with orange sauce to serve.

CAPERS AND HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the halibut steaks on all sides until nicely browned. Remove from pan, and set aside.
• Pour the wine into the pan, and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce to almost nothing, then stir in the garlic, butter and capers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for a minute to blend the flavors.
• Return the steaks to the pan, and coat them with sauce. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve fish immediately with the sauce from the pan poured over it.

MARINATED HALIBUT CHEEKS

Steps:

• To a hot saute pan, add the Szechwan peppercorns and toast until their aroma is released. Immediately remove from the pan and set aside. In another saute pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and melt. Lower the heat and add the shallots, garlic, chives, parsley, five-spice powder, the reserved toasted peppercorns, soy sauce, and maple syrup and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool marinade completely.
• Add the Halibut cheeks to the cooled marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 10 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the halibut cheeks from the marinade and grill 3 minutes on each side.

PAN SEARED HALIBUT CHEEKS

Steps:

• Lay the halibut cheeks out in a single layer and pat dry with a dry paper towel. Season them with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium heat.
• Add a few halibut cheeks at a time (working in batches to not overcrowd the pan) to the heated oil and cook until they are browned on one side, then flip and continue to cook on the second side until browned. This will take between 3 - 4 minutes per side.
• While the halibut cheeks cook, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the finely diced shallots and sliced garlic to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until the shallots and garlic begin to soften.
• Next, add the herbs de Provence to the shallot mixture and cook for about 1 minute stirring. Add the lemon juice and wine to the shallot mixture and cook until the sauce reduces to about half.
• Once reduced, add the sliced cherry tomatoes and cook just until they soften.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the sauce from the heat and serve with the halibut cheeks.
• Garnish with fresh lemon zest.
