Halibut With Pine Nut Parmesan Crust Recipes

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!

HALIBUT WITH PINE NUT AND PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a medium sized bowl, mix the pine nuts, Parmesan, basil, garlic, and olive oil.
• Place the fish filets on a baking tray (I used aluminum pie pans) skin side down. Salt the upper portions to your taste.
• Press the pine nut mixture onto the salted fish, patting it down to make it stick.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the fish flakes with a fork and is opaque. Don't forget to scrape the brown crusty bits off the bottom of the pan - those are the tasty parts.
• I made this recipe for 2 using 2 fish filets and coating both sides of the fish with the mixture.

Steps:

• 1. Salt and pepper both sides of the Halibut fillets. Lay on lightly oiled baking sheet. 2. Spread the Halibut fillets with the above pesto crust. Pat the pesto crust & press lightly to make it ahere. 3. If prepared an hour or so before baking - cover lightly with foil and refrigerate. Remove 15 min or so before baking to bring to room temp. BAKE: Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Bake in middle of oven for 10-15 minutes until fish is opaque all the way through and the pesto is lightly browned. (I left the foil on for approx. 10 min - then removed it for the balance of the baking time - then I turned the oven off And put the foil back on for approx. 5 min. and left it in the turned off oven My piece of fish was about ¾" thick sp you need to judge the baking time).
