Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 pounds halibut or other firm, sustainable white fish
Olive oil cooking spray
Seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay, for sprinkling
1 lime
One 8-ounce brick cream cheese or Neufchatel, softened
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/3 palmful
1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/3 palmful
2 small cans diced green chiles, drained
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, or 1 teaspoon dried dill
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas, warmed or lightly charred over a flame on the stovetop
1 to 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Garnishes: thinly sliced avocado dressed with lime, thinly sliced rings of red onion, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Steps:

Preheat a broiler.
Arrange the fish on a broiler pan or baking sheet. Spray the fish with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with seafood seasoning. Broil until firm and opaque. Cool the fish and flake with a fork. Dress with the juice of the lime.
In a large mixing bowl, stir to combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, coriander and cumin. Add the chiles and 1 cup of the Jack cheese, the cilantro or parsley, fresh or dried dill, salt and pepper to taste and the halibut flakes.
Spray a casserole or baking dish with olive oil. Arrange 3 to 4 spoonfuls of the filling on the edge of each tortilla and roll the enchiladas. Set into the casserole seam-side down. Pour the heavy cream over the top of the casserole, just enough to cover, and cover with the remaining Jack cheese and the grated Parm. Chill, covered, for a make-ahead meal. Bring to room temp before baking.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and bake the casserole brown and bubbly, 45 to 50 minutes. Top with avocado, onions and parsley or cilantro.

HALIBUT ENCHILADAS WITH SALSA VERDE

Halibut Enchiladas with Salsa Verde image

Categories Salad Sauce Breakfast Side Bake Halibut

Yield makes 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 pounds halibut fillets
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
2 cups store-bought shredded Mexican cheese mix (8 ounces)
4 cups store-bought salsa verde, or homemade Salsa Verde (page 198)
10 8-inch corn tortillas

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Lightly coat the halibut with 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and season it with salt and pepper. Put the halibut in a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish and bake for 25 minutes. Allow the halibut to cool, then flake it into a bowl. Keep the oven at 350°F.
Melt the butter in a sauté pan set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 8 minutes. Transfer the onion to a medium bowl and add the mayonnaise, sour cream, chiles, and 1 cup of the cheese mix. Mix thoroughly.
Pour 2 cups of the verde sauce into the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 cup of vegetable oil in a sauté pan set over medium heat until just warm, then turn off the heat. Put one tortilla in the oil at a time and leave it in the oil for 5 seconds (you are looking to just make the tortilla pliable, not brown or crunchy). Transfer the tortilla to a cutting board. Put 1/4 cup of the fish mixture on one end of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and put it on top of the sauce in the casserole dish, seam side down. Repeat until all ten tortillas are filled, then pour the remaining 2 cups verde sauce over the top to coat the enchiladas entirely. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheese mix over the top.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling slightly and the enchiladas are heated through.
note
Salsa verde is a versatile sauce that Sandy has in her refrigerator all the time. She likes to warm 1 cup of the sauce in the morning and pour it over eggs and toast for breakfast. It's a spicy way to start the day!
