Potato-crusted Halibut Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Celery Root

   In a small pot, add diced celery root and cover with water. Boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

2. 2

   Make Brown Butter Grapefruit Cream

   In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and add grapefruit juice and heavy cream. Stir until well combined and season with salt.

3. 3

   Prepare the Halibut

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the grated potatoes on top of the halibut, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Cook the Halibut

   Place the halibut fillets in the skillet, potato-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown. Carefully flip the fillets and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Plate the mashed celery root, top with the potato-crusted halibut, and drizzle with brown butter grapefruit cream. Garnish with sliced pear and serve immediately.
