Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces Halibut fillet
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 6 pieces Walla Walla spring onions, trimmed and halved lengthwise
- 1 cup Fava beans, shelled and blanched
- 1 cup Dry sherry
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halibut fillets and sear for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until golden and crispy. Flip the fillets and cook another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is just opaque in the center. Transfer the fillets to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet. Add the Walla Walla spring onions, cut side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they caramelize and soften slightly. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the halibut.
In the skillet, pour in the dry sherry and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the sherry reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
Add the chicken or vegetable stock to the skillet and let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes. Stir in the thyme leaves, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, whisking to combine.
Add the blanched fava beans to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until warmed through.
Return the caramelized spring onions to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce.
To serve, place one halibut fillet on each plate and arrange the spring onions and fava beans around the fish. Spoon the sherry reduction over the top and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or a side of your choice.
