Halibut Baked with Gremolata


This recipe was inspired by The Baking Barrister a wonderful and creative blog, she served halibut with Gremolata. I came to find out that Gremolata is a traditional Italian condiment made from finely minced parsley, garlic and lemon zest. This zesty garnish is a traditional accompaniment to Milanese Veal shank, it served as both a garnish and a condiment. 
I actually made the gremolata and baked it with the halibut in my Le Creuset to infuse the flavors more and served over cous cous this one is a keeper.


Ingredients:

  • 2 wild Alaskan Halibut steaks
  • 1/2 a cup chopped fresh Parsley
  • one shallot diced
  • 3 cloves of finely chopped garlic
  • about one tablespoon chopped mint 
  • the zest from one lemon and lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil
Method:

  1. mix the parsley, mint, lemon juice, zest, shallots, garlic and olive oil together to make the gremolata
  2. add the halibut to the oven proof dish drizzle with olive oil and coat with gremolata and bake for 20 minutes at 350
  3. serve over cous cous and vegetables
  4. enjoy


Has anyone else eaten gremolata before it was my first time :-)

  12. I want a lota gremolata (couldn't resist). I love gremolata I learned about it at a cooking class and love the flavor. I have never "cooked" it, curious if flavor mellows a little. The truth is lemon zest makes everything better.

  13. How can you go wrong with a mixture of lemon, parsley and lemon? Not possible. Beautiful halibut dish. Did I mention the mere fact that it was cooked in your Le Creuset automatically makes me fall in love with this dish (laugh).

  15. What a perfect topping for fish with the lemon in it! We are trying to eat more fish and I do love halibut so this one is going on the list! Of course, serving it over a veal shank would be delicious too. The gremolata sounds wonderful!

  18. Looks good but I am not sure I would like the Gremolata. I am not a big fan of parsley (usually comes close to an allergic reaction-don't ask, it's a weird one!).

  31. Yum, I've only had gremolata once I think, but I can't see why it can't be included in more than Osso Bucco. This fish is a great example!
