Hazelnut-Crusted Halibut with Garlic Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 1 pound red potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup hazelnuts
  • 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 halibut fillets
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable broth
Instructions
1
Begin by submerging potatoes into a large pot and covering them with water. Next, bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat before gradually reducing the temperature to medium-low and covering it. Allow the potatoes to cook until they're tender, which should take around 20 minutes.
2
During this time, prepare the garlic by mashing it together with a small amount of salt until you have a smooth paste. Once the potatoes are done, drain them and then mash them together with the garlic paste, butter, and a pinch of pepper. Keep the mixture warm.
3
While your potatoes are cooking, take some hazelnuts and bread crumbs and blend them together in a food processor until they're finely ground, but not turned into a paste. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish and season your halibut fillets on both sides with a small amount of salt.
4
Take one side of each halibut fillet and gently press it into the nut mixture, making sure to coat it evenly. Set these aside for now.
5
Heat some olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the halibut fillets into the skillet, nut-side-up, and cook until they start to brown on top. This should take around 3-4 minutes.
6
Turn the fillets over and place them in the preheated oven. Allow them to cook, nut-side-down, until they're flaky and easy to break apart with a fork. This should take about 5 minutes.
7
While the fish is cooking, melt some of the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until it turns nut brown. Stir in some vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
8
Finally, serve your dish by mounding the potatoes onto each dinner plate. Place a halibut fillet on top of the mashed potatoes, nut-side-up, and drizzle it with the browned butter sauce.
