Spanish-Style Poached Wild Alaskan Halibut

In May I had the opportunity to visit Alaska. During that trip I went Halibut fishing off Resurrection Bay with some friends. At the end of the day, I came home with 13 pounds of Wild Alaskan Halibut Filets. This Spanish-Style Poached Wild Alaskan Halibut recipe made with Santé Nuts is a delicious Halibut dish and a perfect way to prepare some of that amazing fish!

Spanish-Style Poached Wild Alaskan Halibut made with Santé Garlic Almonds

Ingredients

• 1 cup white wine
• 2 shallots, sliced
• 2 sprigs thyme
• 2 lemon slices
• 2 bay leaves
• 6 peppercorns
• 1 garlic clove, smashed
• 1 tsp. salt
• 4 halibut fillets (each 4 oz, 1 inch thick)
• ½ lb. green beans, trimmed and steamed

Romesco Sauce:

• 2 red peppers, halved
• 1 cup Santé Garlic Almonds
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp. sherry vinegar
• ¼ tsp. smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp. salt

Directions

Romesco Sauce: Place pepper halves on foil-lined baking sheet, cut sides down; broil for 6 to 10 minutes or skins are charred and flesh is tender. Transfer to bowl. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes; peel skins. Add peeled peppers, 1/2 cup of the almonds, oil, vinegar, smoked paprika, and salt to food processor; purée until smooth.

In saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, wine, shallots, thyme, lemon slices, bay leaves, peppercorns, garlic and salt over medium-high heat; bring to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes; reduce heat until barely simmering. Add halibut; poach for 5 or 6 minutes or until fish is just cooked through. Carefully remove fish and drain on paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Chop remaining almonds; sprinkle over halibut. Serve with green beans and Romesco sauce.

Notes:

The Romesco sauce recipe makes a lot of sauce. We ate it with chips and by the spoonful afterward. You could consider cutting it in half. Also, sherry vinegar was really hard to find by us. I ended up using 3/4 red wine vinegar and 1/4 cooking sherry.
