Halibut

Potato Puree

White Creamy Mushroom and Scallop Sauce

Method

Halibut

  1. 1

    Prepare the Halibut

    Season the halibut fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Halibut

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halibut fillets skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Potato Puree

  1. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the russet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place in a pot of salted boiling water.

  2. 4

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.

  3. 5

    Make the Puree

    Add butter, heavy cream, and salt to the drained potatoes. Mash with a potato masher or use a food processor for a smoother consistency. Keep warm.

White Creamy Mushroom and Scallop Sauce

  1. 6

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet used for the halibut, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and have released their moisture, about 5 minutes.

  2. 7

    Add Scallops

    Add the cleaned scallops to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes until they become opaque.

  3. 8

    Deglaze the Pan

    Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

  4. 9

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in chopped parsley before serving.
