Best Halibut With Ginger Garlic Recipes

FAST AND EASY PLATE COOKED FISH PAILLARD WITH GINGER, GARLIC, AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. or preheat the broiler.
• Pound the fish slices until they are evenly 1/8-inch thick.
• Put 4 heat resistant plates in the oven or under the broiler until hot. Remove and brush each 1 with 1/2 teaspoon of the butter.
• Season the paillards of fish with salt and pepper and put 1 on each plate. Mix the fish stock, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes in a saute pan. Bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes. Whisk the remaining butter into the sauce and pour it over the fish.
• By the time you garnish the plates with the cilantro, the fish will be done.
• Wash the fish carcasses, removing the gills from the heads, and, under running water, scrape away any blood from the backbone.
• Put the celery, onion, herbs, and salt in a pot. Add 1 cup of the water, cover, and sweat the mixture over low heat for 10 minutes. Do not let any browning occur.
• Add the fish carcasses and remaining water. Bring to a boil over high heat. The moment it boils, lower the heat to a bare simmer. Stir the bones around very gently for a few seconds so that any coagulated albumin trapped at the bottom will rise to the surface. Skim off any scum, avoiding floating vegetables or herbs. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
• Add the wine, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, let sit for 5 minutes, then carefully ladle all the stock into a fine strainer set over a container. Do not press down on any fish in the strainer. Put the last of the stock into the strainer and discard the debris. Immediately refrigerate the stock uncovered. When cold, cover and keep refrigerated or frozen until needed.

GRILLED GINGER SOY HALIBUT

Steps:

• 1. In small saucepan, combine all ingredients, except the halibut. Over medium heat, mix until sugar is dissolved.
• 2. Put Halibut in a non metalic pan or ziplock bag, pour marinade over fish. Marinate in fridge for about 30 mins. I make a double batch of marinade and seperate, one batch for marinating and one batch for basting.
• 3. Oil grill grate and preheat grill. Place halibut steaks on grill and cook on each side for about 5 minutes, basting with marinade while fish is cooking.
• 4. Grill until done, halibut should be opaque through to the middle and flake easily with a fork. Discard extra marinade that has had contact with the raw fish.
• 5. Notes: Instead of mincing the garlic and ginger, I like to grate it. Seems the grating brings more flavor. I never add the salt I have never added the herbs I have made this with the honey or the brown sugar, very little taste difference. Actually, I used Splenda brown sugar. I have used the grill, oven broiler and grill pan on top of the stove to cook the fish for this recipe. They all work fine.

CILANTRO-GINGER HALIBUT

• Season both sides of fillets with salt and black pepper. Brush the top of each fillet with 1 tablespoon cilantro sauce.
• Fill a large high-sided skillet with 1 inch water. Set over high heat, and bring to a boil. Set a steamer basket in the skillet, and arrange fillets in basket. Cover, and steam until fish has just cooked through but is still moist, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove fish from steamer, drizzle with additional cilantro sauce, and serve.

• Brush lemon juice over halibut fillets. Sprinkle with minced ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper., Place fish on an oiled grill rack, skin side down.

CAPERS AND HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the halibut steaks on all sides until nicely browned. Remove from pan, and set aside.
• Pour the wine into the pan, and use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine reduce to almost nothing, then stir in the garlic, butter and capers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for a minute to blend the flavors.
• Return the steaks to the pan, and coat them with sauce. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve fish immediately with the sauce from the pan poured over it.

PAN-SEARED MARINATED HALIBUT FILLETS

Brush top and sides with marinade. Cook until seared, about 3 minutes; turn and sear other side, about 3 more minutes. Brush top and sides with marinade again. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until centers of fillets are just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more on each side depending on thickness, brushing with marinade as before. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve.

Remove halibut cheeks to a plate and drizzle with orange sauce to serve.
