Halibut With Pine Nut and Parmesan Crust image

Provided by horseplay

Time 25m

Yield 4 filets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup crushed pine nuts
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 halibut fillets
sea salt

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.

Roasted Halibut with Saffron-Fennel Butter image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon lightly crumbled saffron threads
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small bulb fennel, trimmed, cored and thinly sliced, plus fennel fronds for topping
1 clove garlic, finely grated
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
4 8-ounce center-cut halibut fillets (skin-on)

Steps:

Combine 1 tablespoon butter and the saffron in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter melts, about 1 minute. Let cool 5 minutes. Place the remaining butter and the fennel seeds in a food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the melted saffron butter, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and continue pulsing until the butter is bright yellow. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap and form into a 4-inch log; freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. (The saffron butter will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the sliced fennel, garlic, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons water in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons water and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover with foil and bake until the fennel is tender, about 20 minutes.
Toss the tomatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the tomatoes over the fennel. Set the halibut on top of the vegetables; drizzle with the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon and season with salt and pepper.
Bake, uncovered, until the halibut is firm and no longer translucent, about 12 minutes; remove from the oven and top each piece with a thin slice of saffron butter. Return the halibut to the oven and bake until the butter just begins to melt, about 2 more minutes. Serve with fennel fronds.
