Brush each fish fillet with 1 tablespoon melted butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place fish on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle panko-herb mixture atop fish, dividing equally and pressing to adhere. Roast fish until just opaque in center, about 8 minutes.

PANKO CRUSTED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Take the halibut out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for 30 mins or so. Pat the fillets dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the sauce. Add the wine to a small pot and simmer till it reduces in half. Add the butter, lemon, and dill. Simmer for just a min and then set aside with a lid on.
• Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Bread the fillets. Get out three bowls. In one add the flour or cornstarch, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper each. In the second, add the egg, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper. In the final bowl add the panko, 1/4 tsp salt and pepper. Take each fillet and coat first in flour or cornstarch, then egg, then panko. Set aside on a plate.
• Heat a large skillet to med-high heat. A heavy bottomed stainless steel or ceramic pan works best. You might need 2 medium pans instead depending on how big your fillets are. You must make sure that the fillets are not crowded in the pan or they wont get a nice sear or crust on them.
• When the pan, or pans, are nice and hot, drizzle some oil into the pan just so it has a thin layer. When the oil starts to shimmer and smoke slightly, place a fillet, in the pan laying it down in the pan away from you.
• Don't touch it! You will want to, but don't. Wait 3 mins and then try to lift the fish. If it lifts easy, flip it over. If it doesn't release easy, let it be for another min then try again. Don't poke at it or it could break up.
• Once the fish is flipped onto the other side, wait 1 min and then turn the heat off and throw the pan in the oven for 4 - 6 mins per ½ inch thickness. We cooked the fillet in the pictures of this post for 8 mins.
• Remove from the oven, place on plates, drizzle with the sauce and serve immediately.

PISTACHIO-CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH ROASTED BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• Place a rimmed baking sheet in the center of the oven and preheat to 450˚ F. Grate the lemon zest and set aside. Cut the lemon into 4 wedges and add to a large bowl along with the broccolini, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes. Toss to coat. Spread on the hot baking sheet and roast until crisp-tender and charred, flipping halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse the pistachios in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the reserved lemon zest, panko, za'atar and 1/2 teaspoon salt; pulse to combine. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Press the halibut fillets in the pistachio mixture, turning to fully coat all sides.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the halibut and cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
• Season the halibut with salt and divide among plates. Serve with the roasted broccolini and lemon wedges.

BAKED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. In a shallow bowl, mix together the panko bread crumbs, parmesan, parsley, dill, chives and lemon zest.
• Rinse halibut fillets and pat dry with a paper towel. Place fillets onto the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil (rubbing it into the front and back of the fillet), then dredge the fish into the bread crumb/parmesan cheese mixture, pressing it in lightly with your fingers.
• Place fillets back onto baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until crumb topping is lightly browned and fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed. The parmesan cheese is salty, so I usually don't need additional salt.

PANKO-CRUSTED HALIBUT WITH SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small pot. Stir in the breadcrumbs, half the shallots, the parsley, lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper.
• 2. Sprinkle both sides of the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on top of each fillet, then press the panko mixture on top.
• 3. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch skillet. Add the rainbow chard stems and remaining shallots. Cook 2 minutes, then turn off the heat. Fold in the torn chard leaves, 2 tablespoons water, and salt and pepper, to taste. Place the halibut fillets on top of the chard leaves.
• 4. Transfer the skillet to the oven until the fish is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
