Halibut Directions
- Season the Halibut on all sides with salt. Heat sauté pan over medium high heat. Once pan is hot add the extra virgin olive oil. The oil should be hot enough that it starts to smoke a little. This is when you're ready to add the fish. Add the fish and lower the heat to medium. It's time to remove the fish when you get a golden crust to a sheet pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roast your fish in the oven until the internal temp. is 130 degrees f (4 minutes).
- Preparing your side dish: pan fry ham until browned on each side. Add ½ c of blanched peas to warm.
- Platting: add a spoonful of pea puree to plate, add the side of ham and warmed peas, top with halibut. Garnish with red onion and pea greens (optional).
