Roast Halibut With Smoked Tomato Vinaigrette Recipes

ROAST HALIBUT WITH SMOKED TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Special equipment:.
• Hickory wood chips (about 2 handfuls), for smoking.
• To make the vinaigrette:.
• Prepare a wok smoker by laying 2 layers of foil in the bottom of a wok. Add in 2 handfuls of the hickory wood chips, and set the smoker over high heat. Pour in the water. Wash, quarter, and seed the tomatoes. Pop them into a bamboo steamer.
• Arrange the tarragon and shallots around the tomatoes. Place the steamer onto your smoking wok and cover with lid or foil, and let the ingredients smoke for 20 minutes.
• Transfer the tomato-shallot mixture to a big pitcher, and blend with an immersion blender or use a regular blender. Gradually, add the olive oil in a thin stream, as you are blending to achieve a nice consistency. Season with a pinch of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper.
• To make the halibut:.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F. Liberally sprinkle your halibut fillets with coarse salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
• Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of a pan, and set it over fairly high heat.
• Add the halibut fillets to the hot pan, skin side down. Once the first side has browned nicely, about 3 to 4 minutes, flip them over and continue cooking for another 3 minutes. Then, slide the pan into the oven for about 5 minutes to finish cooking. The finished halibut should be firm to the touch and snowy white in color, but since it is a lean fish, it will dry out if overcooked.
• Ladle a pool of the vinaigrette into the bottom of a deep plate, top with a piece of halibut and a few baby greens, if using. Alternatively, you could use arugula tossed with sliced shallots, as a garnish.

ROSEMARY SMOKED HALIBUT WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE

• Balsamic Vinaigrette: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together oil, balsamic vinegar, pepper and salt. Stir in tomato and shallot.(can be done ahead of time).
• Serve with halibut.

PAN ROASTED HALIBUT WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Directions:.
• Pan Roasted Halibut with Tomatoes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the roasted tomato salsa: add a splash of olive oil, tomatoes, onion, white wine, and thyme sprigs to a medium roasting pan. Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Roast in oven just until onions and tomatoes start to soften, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile season fish with salt and pepper and chopped thyme. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to large skillet or sauté pan over medium high heat. When pan is hot, sear fish on both sides, about 1 to 2 minute per side.
• Transfer halibut to roasting pan after vegetables have roasted for about 7 to 10 minutes. Roast fish with vegetables, moving vegetables in the pan to surround the fish. Continue to roast until fish is cooked through and firm, about 7 to 9 minutes. Serve fish and roasted salsa with fresh basil. Drizzle each plate with some of the pan juices.

PAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH ROASTED HEIRLOOM TOMATOES

Add the thyme and juice of 1/2 a lemon and baste the fish with the sauce. Remove the halibut from the pan to a serving platter. Add the olive oil to the pan and stir in the tomatoes, the garlic and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Cook for 2 minutes and then add the parsley. Stir to combine and serve on top of the fish.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH CHARRED TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a large platter and set aside. Pat the skin of the halibut dry with a paper towel and then brush the fillets all over with olive oil. Season the flesh generously with salt and pepper.
• Oil the grill grates and put the cherry tomatoes and fish skin-side down on the grill. Cover and let cook until the tomatoes are charred and starting to split, about 5 minutes, depending on the ripeness of the tomatoes and the heat from your grill. Cook the halibut until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the fish skin-side down to the platter with the sliced tomatoes.
• Put the cherry tomatoes in a blender, discarding the vine, and add the olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Blend until smooth, then stir in half the chives and basil. Spoon the tomato vinaigrette over the fish and tomatoes. Drizzle everything with some more olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining chives and basil. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
