Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Squash

    While the sweet potatoes are roasting, slice the la estrella squash into thin rounds. In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the squash. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Make the Onion Agrodolce

    Thinly slice the onion. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened. Add the brown sugar and red wine vinegar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Cook the Halibut

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to brown. Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Add the halibut to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Brown Butter Vinaigrette

    To the same skillet used for the halibut, add a little extra butter (if needed) and let it brown slightly. Remove from heat and whisk in some lemon juice and finely chopped herbs to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, arrange the roasted sweet potatoes, sautéed squash, and top with the halibut. Drizzle the onion agrodolce and brown butter vinaigrette over the top. Garnish with fresh herbs.
