HALIBUT ROAST WITH TEQUILA LIQUEUR AND LIME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400f degrees.
• Place the halibut roast on a sheet of foil, large enough to wrap it and place it in a shallow oven proof dish or tray. Cut three slits into white skin side of halibut roast, deep enough to hold wedges of lime. Sprinkle sea salt and fresh ground pepper over the roast and into the slits. Place a lime wedge into each slit. Squeeze juice of one lime over all. Pour the Tequila liqueur over the roast and sprinkle the lime zest over all. Wrap the foil tightly around the roast and let rest in fridge for 15 to 30 minutes.
• Roast in 400f degree oven for approximately 30 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the roast, or until the fish flakes easily.
• Unwrap and place on a platter to remove skin and bones, place halibut pieces on another platter and pour liquid that accumulated in foil over, garnish with lime wedges.

HALIBUT WITH LIME AND TEQUILA

Steps:

• Mix marinade ingredients (all except fish) in a plastic container large enough to hold fish in a single layer.
• Add halibut and turn over.
• Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning at least once.
• Remove fish from marinade and pour marinade into a small saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Remove from heat.
• Grill halibut over medium-hot coals for about 4 minutes per side, or until fish is done in the center.
• Serve marinade sauce over fish.

PAN-SEARED MARINATED HALIBUT FILLETS

Steps:

• In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the 6 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add fish, seal bag, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• In a large flat skillet (do not use a ridged pan), pour light olive oil or vegetable oil, tilting pan to spread evenly. Warm over high heat until smoking, then add fish fillets. Brush top and sides with marinade. Cook until seared, about 3 minutes; turn and sear other side, about 3 more minutes. Brush top and sides with marinade again. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until centers of fillets are just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more on each side depending on thickness, brushing with marinade as before. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve.

HEAVENLY HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler. Grease a baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, green onions, salt, and hot pepper sauce.
• Arrange the halibut fillets in the prepared baking dish.
• Broil halibut fillets 8 minutes in the prepared oven, or until easily flaked with a fork. Spread with the Parmesan cheese mixture, and continue broiling 2 minutes, or until topping is bubbly and lightly browned.

MUSTARD CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH BEURRE BLANC

Steps:

• Cut the butter in small cubes and put in a bowl. Set the bowl in ice water. (The butter should be very cold; otherwise it might melt too quickly and the sauce might break.) Place shallots in a medium stainless-steel saucepan. Add the white wine and wine vinegar. Boil the liquid over high heat until it is reduced to a scant 1 tablespoon. Just before serving, add the pieces of butter to the pan, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition, until it has all been used. (The sauce should be fairly thick.) Add a little lemon juice to the sauce to taste. Season with salt and white pepper. If you're a purist, you'll want to strain the shallots out of the sauce before serving. Some chefs prefer to leave the shallots in; if you're among them, you might also want to mix finely minced parsley or tarragon into the sauce. And some chefs like to bolster the sauce with a little creme fraiche just before serving it. Keep sauce warm until needed. This sauce can be made up to 1 hour in advance and kept in a bain marie over warm water.;
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season fillets well with salt and pepper. Cover fillets with mustard and place into a roasting pan. Cook fillets at 500 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from pan to a plate and surround with beurre blanc. Serve.;
