Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss the cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and fingerling potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them evenly and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the tomatoes are blistered.

  2. 2

    Glaze the Carrots

    While the vegetables are roasting, peel the carrots and cut them into sticks. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and stir in the honey. Add the carrots and cook over medium heat until they are tender and glazed, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Broccolini

    In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the broccolini for 3-4 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.

Cooking the Halibut

  1. 4

    Sear the Halibut

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the halibut fillets to the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  2. 5

    Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the lemon juice to the remaining butter and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to create a lemon butter sauce.

Plating

  1. 6

    Serve the Dish

    On each plate, place the roasted vegetables, honey-glazed carrots, and broccolini. Top with the seared halibut and drizzle with the lemon butter sauce. Finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
