Halibut is a fatty and very satisfying fish. Roasted halibut is especially appreciated by seafood lovers. In this form, it turns out to be the most juicy. And with the help of various recipes for culinary processing, halibut can be given a very original look.
Instructions
Step 1
For the classic fried halibut recipe, take one kilogram of fresh fish. Clean it from scales, remove gills and fins, gut. Rinse under cold running water. Cut halibut into portions. Place fifty grams of wheat flour on a flat plate, add your favorite fish spices and one teaspoon of salt. Dip each halibut bite in flour on both sides. Place the skillet over high heat and heat it up well. Pour fifty grams of vegetable oil into the bottom and place the halibut pieces in a skillet. Reduce heat to low and cook fish for about ten minutes until golden brown. Do not keep halibut in the pan for longer than the specified time, or it will be too dry. Serve fried halibut on lettuce leaves.
Step 2
For a more exotic fried halibut, use two hundred grams of halibut fillets. Rub it with salt on both sides and pepper well. Place the fillets on the bottom of the heavy-bottomed skillet. Pour the juice of one grapefruit on it and leave to marinate for fifteen minutes. Prepare the sauce at this time. To do this, cut one bunch of watercress and mix it with two tablespoons of sour cream, the same amount of mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chop one shallots as finely as possible and add to the sauce. Place the halibut skillet over high heat and cook for one minute on each side. Turn off the pan and top with the cooked sauce.
Step 3
In order to give the halibut an original look, use the following recipe. To make the marinade, take a bowl and pour 4 tablespoons of olive oil into it, add two tablespoons of lemon juice to it, salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze one medium garlic clove into a bowl. Take 700 grams of fish fillet and cut it into 4 pieces. Marinate the fillets in the prepared mixture for fifteen minutes. At this time, heat a small skillet and fry two tablespoons of sesame seeds in it. As soon as you smell the characteristic aroma, remove the pan from the heat. Add two teaspoons of dried thyme to chilled sesame seeds. Sprinkle each piece of fillet with salt and sesame mixture on both sides. Pour two tablespoons of vegetable oil into a preheated frying pan and add the pieces of fish. Fry for seven minutes on each side. Decorate the finished dish with lemon wedges.
