Herb Crusted Alaska Halibut

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Garlic Mashed Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, and minced garlic; mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Roast the Tomatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes or until they start to blister. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Crust the Halibut

    Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Brush halibut fillets with basil pesto on both sides and then coat with spent grain bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Cook the Halibut

    In the skillet, add a splash of olive oil and cook the halibut for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Plate

    On each plate, place a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes, top with the herb-crusted halibut, and garnish with roasted tomatoes. Toss the seasonal greens with the vinaigrette and serve alongside.
