- I give you best tips on how to perfectly cook tender, juicy halibut fillets by searing them in a pan first and finishing them on top of a vegetable medley of fennel, grape tomatoes and shallots, extra virgin olive oil and fresh herbs. You will swear your fish came out of a restaurant kitchen.
FULL RECIPE BELOW :
Pan Roasting Fillet of Halibut with Fennel
4 pieces Halibut fillet about 6 oz. each (180 gm)
You can substitute grouper, snapper, sea bass
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
2 Tbsp. olive oil for searing fish (25 ml)
Freshly chopped herbs - thyme , dill, parsley
4 shallots, sliced
1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced
*you can use zucchini, Swiss chard or other veggies
2 Tbsp. olive oil (25 ml)
Grated zest and juice of ½ Meyer lemon or lemon
8 grape tomatoes, cut in half
Splash Dry vermouth , optional
Preheat oven to 375 D .
Arrange shallots, fennel and tomatoes in a small oval baking dish. Sprinkle with lemon zest and juice and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with dill. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until fennel begins to soften.
Meanwhile, heat a heavy bottom pan over medium heat, dry.
*Note I was using a non stick pan but you can use cast iron . Drizzle the fish fillets on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. When pan is hot, place fish fillets in, not touching. If pan is not large enough, you can sear in two batches. Sear for about 2 minutes or until golden. Do not try to move fish before it is fully seared or it will stick and tear. Flip, sprinkle with chopped herbs and repeat on other side. Remove from pan . Immediately deglaze pan with dry vermouth if desired.
* In video I added the vermouth to roasting pan but you can also deglaze the hot pan once you remove the fish .
Remove roasted vegetables from oven and arrange seared fish on top. Pour deglazing liquid on top of fish and cover with a piece of parchment paper not fully enclosed, to let some steam escape. Alternatively you can cover with a lid , leaving a gap for steam to escape. Bake for about 7-8 minutes for fish that is 1 “ thick. To test doneness, insert a small knife into the middle of fish for 8 seconds. Remove and when it is just hot but not burning to the touch , fish is cooked.
Remove and serve with roasted fennel and some rice.

I TRIED YOUR TSOUREKI RECIPE AND IT WAS A HIT!!! EVERYONE LOVED IT 😍.
I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO TRY THIS RECIPE BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO COOK A Decent recipe.
God bless you and your family.
Love from Montreal, Canada.
Thank you very much .. I'm so glad you loved the tsoureki. We just finished our last corner from Easter. Sending you greetings back to Montreal.
Timely for me. Have some halibut in fridge 😊
That does seem perfect !
Love this recipe! Genius to roast the veggies ahead....
Thank you ! The pre -roasting veggies gives you that rich sauce once it's all cooked.
1st coment from me. Excellent work. Keep it up. Lots of love from Sri Lanka. Before even watched, liked and commented on this ❤.
Thank you so much for being the first !
Looks so delicious, and for us fennel fans, the vegetable selection is perfect.
This looks absolutely delicious!!!!
Thanks so much. We love it in our house.
Amazingly done video.
Very nice as always.🎉
Thank you !
❤super, Super!!! Thank You!
You are most welcome
Thank you Christine. I made this tonight and I enjoyed it very much.
That is great to hear !
Thank you, Christine. Looks delicious! I’ll definitely be cooking your recipe 😊
I hope you try it. Thanks
Can’t wait to try this. I live in Colorado- so finding really fresh fish is a challenge. Seems worth the wait though. I adore fennel in so many things. Thanks
You will love it this , so i do hope you try it. If you cannot find halibut, cod ( although it will release more moisture), grouper would be good alternatives.
Delicious! You make it look so easy. Love the show!
Many thanks
Funny you should ask what's going on in my kitchen. I made your Moussaka last week and (I'm not overstating this) it was a *showstopper!* One of my very favorite things I've made lately. Thank you!
It's so great to hear that. It really checks every comfort food box but at the same time feels quite special. I'm glad you felt the result was worth the mess . Thank you
Looks delicious, I love Alaskan Halibut compared to here in California, (I swear there is a difference). This reminds me of two different recipes, one en papillote, or when Julia Child had you cut the buttered parchment paper to fit the dish and lay directly on top. This may be a better version. Thanks Christine, looks beautiful and I'm definitely going to give it a try. Thank you!
You are most welcome. ! I hope you try it
Great recipe, fennel and seafood are best friends in food. In one of your upcoming food videos, please show us a recipe for Acqua Pazza (Fish in Crazy Water).
Thank you for getting it ! Well , I happen to have a great take on fish in Aqua Pazza that I will have to make for you. It is unconventional but people do crazy when I make it for them.
Fell for that pun hook line and sinker
haha ! Yeah .Thanks
Hey lemon girl, I was wondering, do you ever use ground coriander, (in addition to zest and juice), to get another level of "lemoness" when cooking fish?
and when cooking Chinese food, do you ever substitute lemon juice for rice wine vinegar?
haha ! That is a really good question . I do use coriander seeds , often as a crust . When doing anything Chinese/ Asian, I will never use a lemon. It's funny but it just doesn't work. I would go for rice wine vinegar or if doing south east Asian chose the lime. Thank you
I suppose some cabbage and star anise could be swapped in,
in a pinch for the fennel ?
Oh yes that would be great. Or , nappa cabbage with some fennel seeds would also be great.
@@ChristineCushing Had a thought and found roasted Star Anise and Brussel Sprouts is a thing. But could be too overpowered for some..
like this recipe because I like cooking for my friends (hate cooking for myself!)
two of my friends are vegetarians but eat fish (not sure what that is called LoL) but he it allergic to tomatoes!
I always use red bell peppers as a replacement but I wondering if there is something better as bell peppers are not as juices
Pescatarian (Someone who eats seafood and vegetables).
@@erichenderson6515 thank you they have told me but never remembered...
I just say to them they are funny vegetarians LoL
@@roytelling6540 If you ask me, Pescatarianism is a better healthy lifestyle because both seafood and vegetables (when cooked right) are good for you.
You didn't say how long in the oven after parchment paper.
Just some constructive criticism ,your vids are great , but since you started shooting in new format , the audio is not as good as before. Thanks
