Alaskan Halibut Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Saffron Butter

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the saffron strands and let them steep in the butter for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. 2

   Char the Tomatoes

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the halved tomatoes, cut side down, and cook until charred, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook the Clams

   In the same skillet, add the fresh clams and a splash of water. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the clams open. Discard any that do not open. Stir in the fresh basil.

4. 4

   Cook the Halibut

   Season the halibut fillets with salt and black pepper. In another skillet, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Cook the halibut for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   On each plate, place a halibut fillet, spoon the saffron butter over the top, and add the charred tomatoes and clams on the side. Garnish with additional basil if desired.
