Method

  1. Boil the Jerseys until tender. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Put the white wine vinegar and wine in a pan with the shallots. Reduce the liquid to 1 tbsp then gradually whisk in the butter over a low heat until you have a smooth sauce. Stir in the capers and keep warm.
  2. Gently crush the potatoes with a fork then add the butter and parsley and season well.
  3. Heat a little oil and a knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan, add the halibut pieces. Cook for 3 minutes until slightly golden then turn over and continue to cook for another couple of minutes.
  4. Serve the halibut on a bed of crushed potatoes with the sauce spooned over.

    this recipe is so easy to make and really tasty but i think it needs something added to it for extra "zing" - i don't know what. Certainly we enjoyed it (and tried not to think about the amounts of butter, mmm!)

    Very nice, elegant dish which allows the quality of the halibut and the jersey royals to speak for themselves with only subtle enhancements. I'd be happy to serve this to guests any time, and that's always a pleasure to say about anything this quick and easy to make.

    You can do this recipe with other kinds of white fish. I can't buy halibut where I live (Mexico) so I use sea bass. Also, you can forget asking for Jersey royals here. Plain old spuds work fine.

    Superb recipe athough I made it some time ago and forgot to comment. Easy to do with impressive results. My other half still rates it as one of his favourite meals that I have cooked him! Looking forward to the next Jersey Royal and Halibut season...

    This was superb and nothing was changed apart from I slightly reduced the cooking time of the fish.
