HALIBUT WITH PESTO
Steps:
- Roast the hazelnuts lightly on a baking sheet in the 350F oven until a nice aroma emerges, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Place the basil, cheese, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts and garlic in a food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes coarse paste. In the meantime, add oil in a steady stream. Pulse a few more times until emulsified and stop when your favourite consistency is achieved (I like keeping some hazelnuts in large chunks). Adjust with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, lightly sprinkle the halibut with salt and pepper and lay on an oiled baking sheet. Broil at 400F until flakey, for about 7 minutes or so depending on the thickness of the fish. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and test with a knife. The center may still look slightly pink but that's okay. Smear the pesto on top of the fish and broil until top nicely browned and the centre of the fish is no longer pink but moist, for about 5 minutes. Don't overcook. Take the fish out of the oven, cover with a piece of aluminum foil and let stand for a few minutes.
