Ingredients
- Pacific halibut fillets
- 4 fillets
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Potatoes
- 4 medium-sized, peeled
- Chicken stock
- 1 cup
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the halibut fillets generously with salt and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and set aside to marinate briefly.
- Using a round cookie cutter, cut the peeled potatoes into cylindrical shapes. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the potato cylinders to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides (about 10 minutes).
- Pour in the chicken stock, then add the minced garlic and chopped thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and infused with flavor.
- Meanwhile, heat another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halibut fillets and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, plate the halibut and serve alongside the fragrant potato fondant, spooning some of the garlic-thyme stock over the dish for added flavor.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the chicken stock before baking the potatoes.
- You can substitute halibut with other firm white fish like cod or haddock if desired.
- Experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or parsley, for a unique twist on flavor.
