Cider-Braised Halibut

Fermented Barley, Chorizo, Apple, and Maitake

Method

Cider-Braised 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. Add the seasoned halibut fillets and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Braising Liquid

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the apple cider and add fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Braise the Halibut

    Return the seared halibut to the skillet. Cover and let it braise in the cider for about 10-12 minutes until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Fermented Barley, Chorizo, Apple, and Maitake

  1. 5

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook until browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add chopped onion and maitake mushrooms to the chorizo. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  3. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the fermented barley, diced apple, and chicken broth. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
