Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Roast the Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced carrots, halved Brussels sprouts, and cubed butternut squash in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.

2

Prepare the Edamame

While the vegetables are roasting, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame pods and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and sprinkle with salt.

3

Make the Beurre Blanc Sauce

In a saucepan, combine the chopped shallots and white wine. Simmer until reduced by half. Lower the heat and whisk in the cold butter, one cube at a time, until emulsified. Add cream, salt, and lemon juice. Keep warm on low heat.

4

Sear the Halibut

Season the halibut fillets with salt and black pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the halibut for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown.

5

Plate the Dish

On each plate, arrange a portion of roasted vegetables, a serving of edamame, and top with the seared halibut. Drizzle with beurre blanc sauce before serving.
