Prepare fish

Wash the halibut fillet under cold running water and dry it.

Place on a suitable porcelain plate.

Marinate the fish fillets with olive oil, salt and pepper.

When all the garnishes are ready, place the fish plate in the oven and set the egg timer for 10 minutes.

Fish fillet cooking time:

-> 120°C level hot air preheated.

-> 10-14 minutes cooking time.

When is the fish ready Tip:

At the end of the cooking time, pierce a fillet with a thin meat fork for 20 seconds and test the temperature on your finger or lip (carefully).

Serve

Finalize dish

Heat all side dishes again and season to taste.

Remove the warm plates from the oven and place them on a plate to serve.

Arrange the mushrooms with the browned butter with the spring onions on the plate and add the potatoes.

Remove the fish fillets from the oven, remove the skin and place the fillets in the middle of the plates.

Season the fish gently with salt and pepper.

Serve quickly – bon appétit!

You can change the amount of butter according to your own ideas. For me the browned butter is the sauce substitute and it just doesn’t need more!

3. Which Mushrooms Are Suitable For this Dish?

The hat-journalists simply harmonize wonderfully with the water dwellers. When shopping, you can flexibly adapt to the situation according to offers. Recommendable are:

  • Chanterelles
  • Herb-side mushrooms
  • Champignons
  • Morels
  • Porcini mushrooms
  • Chestnuts mushrooms

Natürlich würde auch weißer und schwarzer Trüffel ausgezeichnet passen.

Den Luxusgedanken gehe ich dennoch heute nicht nach und besorge lieber ein Körbchen Schwammerl im Supermarkt.

Use fresh mushrooms for this dish, the taste is simply stunning.

4. Tips For Your Fish Shopping

You can recognise fresh fish by the following criteria:

  1. Undamaged and shiny fresh looking skin!
  2. Bright red gills!
  3. Clear and shiny eyes (exception: perch-like fish always have cloudy eyes)!
  4. By smell, fresh sea creatures do not smell!

Frozen goods are always second choice. Freezing extends the shelf life, but the cells are damaged and a lot of free water is produced during preparation.

The best halibut fillet is found on the coast. A visit to the Hamburg fish market would be an option!

Just keep the SATs down. Potatoes are on your plate fast! Gnocchi are sure to succeed!
