Halibut steaks, spinach & eggs
- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- Easy
- Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 halibut steaks - roughly 3/4 inch thick
- Seasoned flour (sea salt and freshly ground black pepper)
- Extra virgin oil
- Butter, as much as you like
- Spinach, as much as you like
- 1 egg per steak
- Potatoes of choice (an optional extra) but chips are great!
Method
- STEP 1Three aspects to this recipe; the fish and the 'Other Bits' (these need to be done simultaneously) and the presentation.
- STEP 2The Halibut:
- STEP 3Pre-heat the oven to 200C (fan assisted electric temp.)
- STEP 4Whilst the oven is heating up; prepare seasoned flour and chop the fresh parsley and chives
- STEP 5When oven has reached 200ÃÂÃÂC, cover halibut with seasoned flour, shaking off excess
- STEP 6Using a heavy frying pan, add olive oil and fry steaks for 1-2 minutes a side to colour a nutty brown
- STEP 7Take pan from heat and add knob of butter to each steak
- STEP 8Sprinkle steaks with the chopped parsley and chives
- STEP 9Put the pan in the oven for NO MORE THAN 10 minutes - a bit less is okay (Do noÂt cover the fish with anything, no foil etc) and then take out of oven, cover with foil and let it rest whilst doing the 'Other Bits'
- STEP 10The 'Other Bits':
- STEP 11Whilst the fish is resting:
- STEP 121. Warm the dinner plates in the already hot oven
- STEP 132. Cook the spinach, as you know it takes no more than 3 minutes and at the same time softly poach the eggs
- STEP 14Presentation:
- STEP 15Easily done but the nice bit is putting a poached egg on the spinach portion
