Pan-Seared Halibut with Citrus Glaze and Roasted Vegetables
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 halibut fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to make the citrus glaze. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the halibut fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the citrus glaze mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the glaze thickens slightly. Return the halibut fillets to the skillet, spoon the glaze over the fillets, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to coat the fish with the glaze.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the mixed vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve the pan-seared halibut with the citrus glaze alongside the roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
The history of Pan-Seared Halibut with Citrus Glaze dates back to the Pacific Northwest, where the pristine waters yield some of the finest halibut in the world. Renowned chefs in Seattle and Vancouver popularized this dish, infusing it with the region's love for fresh, local ingredients. The succulent halibut is expertly seared to perfection, then drizzled with a zesty citrus glaze that balances the fish's delicate flavor. The side of roasted vegetables adds a rustic touch, showcasing the bounty of the region's farms. Today, the best version of this dish can be savored in upscale seafood restaurants along the West Coast. The key to this dish lies in the freshness of the halibut and the vibrant citrus glaze, which should harmonize with the fish without overpowering it. For a twist, some chefs also incorporate a hint of local honey or a splash of white wine into the glaze, elevating the dish to new heights.
