Halibut

Method

Preparing the Halibut

  1. 1

    Melt Butter

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is fully melted but not browned.

  2. 2

    Poach Halibut

    Season the halibut fillets with sea salt and black pepper. Add them to the melted butter, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cook gently for about 10-12 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Cooking the Vegetables and Clams

  1. 3

    Sauté Artichokes

    In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the artichokes and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned.

  2. 4

    Add Ramps and Clams

    Add the chopped ramps and fresh clams to the skillet. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the clams have opened up. Discard any clams that do not open.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    To serve, place the poached halibut on a plate, spoon the sautéed artichokes and clams over the top, and finish with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
