Halibut Crudo With Shaved Radishes Fried Capers And Chive Oil Recipes

HALIBUT WITH CITRUS BUTTER AND RADISHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the red onion, radishes, thyme, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Season the halibut with salt and arrange over the roasted vegetables. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake until the halibut is just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the blood orange juice, grapefruit juice and lime juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced to about 1/4 cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer until combined. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, waiting until the butter is emulsified before adding the next piece. Season with salt. Keep warm over very low heat until ready to serve.
• Peel the whole grapefruit with a paring knife, removing the white pith. Slice between the membranes to remove the segments. Transfer the halibut and vegetables to a platter with a spatula and scatter the grapefruit segments around them. Drizzle with the citrus butter.

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.

LIGHT AND CRISPY FRIED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Whisk eggs, milk, and flour together in a shallow bowl. Stir panko bread crumbs and seasoned bread crumbs together in another bowl.
• Gently dip halibut squares into egg mixture, the press gently into bread crumbs mixture to generously coat completely. Place breaded halibut in a single layer on a plate while breading the rest.
• Cook halibut in preheated oil until golden brown and crisp on the outside, 4 to 6 minutes.

HALIBUT CRUDO

Steps:

• For the mango salsa: Slice the dashi kombu and shiso leaves as thinly as possible. Dice the mango into small cubes. Toss the dashi kombu, shiso leaves and mango together on a cutting board and chop as finely as possible to combine. Set aside.
• For the halibut crudo: Sprinkle the halibut with sea salt, wrap in the dashi kombu and refrigerate for 30 minutes to marinate.
• Slice the halibut into 5 thin pieces the size of sushi nigiri (about 2 inches long and less than 1/2 inch thick). Place 5 dots of ponzu sauce (about 1 teaspoon each) on a plate. Roll the halibut slices and stand them on their side on the dots of ponzu. Add 2 drops of the white truffle oil and about 1/2 teaspoon mango salsa to each piece of halibut. Then add a small dollop (1/2 teaspoon or less) of the wasabi tobiko and an even smaller dollop of the black caviar to each piece of halibut. Serve.
