Inspiration for This Baked Halibut with Mayonnaise

Years and years…and years ago, Black Eyed Pea restaurant came on the scene as an attractive and affordable destination for office lunches with coworkers.

We seemed to choose the restaurant at least once a week.  Homestyle menu options and classic comfort food were a natural draw for that culinary era of the 80’s.

Those cheesy casseroles, chicken fried steaks and homestyle meatloaf could also be an issue for the waist line. So I quickly because acquainted with a white fish entree on the menu.

And while not perfectly what one would call clean eating, it made a healthier lunch selection.

I tried for years to recreate the dish, somewhat unsuccessfully, that is until I found this version.

Although the recipe didn’t reference the restaurant, it comes very close to what I had there. Halibut topped with a lemony Parmesan mayonnaise topping, is truly a delicious and easy fish dinner recipe.

This recipe will work on other white fish fillets. Cod would be a good choice. Cod is a thinner fillet, so cooking time will need to be adjusted.

Read your seafood labels

Being landlocked the “seafood” section of my recipe data base is slim compared to the beef and chicken recipes. It consists mostly of shrimp recipes.

For this recipe I purchased a package of frozen halibut fillets which were labeled “wild caught.”

Once at home, and after closer inspection, the label also read that the filets were processed in China. And didn’t indicate where it was “wild caught.”

I wasn’t very happy to read that. I would have been happier reading about a fish that was wild caught in the Pacific waters off the US coast and cleaned, vacuum sealed and frozen at a nearby American processing center.

My point? Read the fine print on labels to insure you know where your food comes from for the ultimate fresh flavor and perfectly tender and flaky in texture.

And if you’re looking to purchase the absolute best pristine frozen halibut from Pacific waters, check out Sitka Seafood Market. A company that supports small family fisherman and delivers fresh Alaskan seafood directly to your doorstep. And you’ll find some great recipes for those frozen halibut fillets.

Disclaimer: I have received free product from Sitka Salmon. My opinions about the quality of their products are my own.

This broiled halibut recipe is a wonderful addition to our weeknight meal menu. It’s easy, ready in less than thirty minutes, delicious and a great way to add seafood to your weekly meal plan.

I’ve had the recipe for a very long time and just realized I hadn’t shared it with my readers. Enjoy.

Heavenly Halibut

Broiled Halibut fillet, Topped with mayo, butter, green onion & Parmesan. A rich combination perfect for sweet mild flavored halibut. It’s Heavenly!
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Course: Main Course Seafood
Cuisine: American
Servings: 2
Calories: 429kcal
Author: Lea Ann Brown

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 ½ tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1-2 dash dash hot pepper sauce
  • 1 pound skinless halibut fillets thawed, if purchasing frozen halibut

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven broiler. Grease a baking dish with butter or with non-stick spray.
  • In a bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, green onions, salt, and hot pepper sauce.
  • Arrange the halibut fillets in the prepared baking dish or sheet pan. Using a paper towel, pat the fillets dry.
  • Move the top rack to about 4 inches below the broiler heating unit. Broil halibut fillets 8 minutes in the prepared oven, or until easily flaked with a fork. Cook time will depend on the thickness of the fillet.
  • Spread with the Parmesan cheese mixture, and continue broiling 2 minutes, or until topping is bubbly and lightly browned.

Notes

How to tell when the halibut is done. Pull the rack just far enough out of the oven to be able to test with a fork. Using the back of a fork, press down on fillet. If the fillet starts to flake, it’s cooked.  Depending on your oven, the fish will take about 3-4 minutes per ½-inch thickness. It’s best just to watch it close and check on it every 4 minutes.
Substitute chopped chives for the green onion.

Recipe For Boneless Turkey Breast Roast

By 3 Comments

A butter and white wine baste delivers a flavorful tender juicy Boneless Turkey Breast Roast. A delicious dinner any time of year. Or a compliment to your whole Thanksgiving Turkey. And it comes without all the fuss.

Sliced boneless turkey breast roast on a white platter.

What Is a Turkey Breast Roast?

It’s not a whole turkey breast, it’s a product that contains juicy tender white meat that’s been rolled and shaped in the form of a roast. It contains no dark meat and no breast bone.

Why consider a boneless turkey roast? No longer just for Thanksgiving, I make a turkey breast roast several times a year. It’s an easy family dinner and you’ll have plenty of leftovers to make turkey sandwiches during the week.

A turkey breast roast is a great option if you are hosting a small group for any holiday. After all, a whole turkey can take up a lot of prime real estate space in your oven.

And if you’re looking for more white meat or more leftovers? A turkey breast roast can be a an easy supplement to your Thanksgiving Turkey meal. Those white meat lovers will thank you, and it will set your mind at ease if you’re worried a whole turkey won’t be enough.

Using cheese cloth and a flavorful butter and white wine baste yields a beautifully tender and juicy roast with a golden brown exterior.

A really easy no mess, no fuss recipe. A method I learned from Martha Stewart’s recipe to roast a whole turkey.

Do if you don’t have your heart set on dark meat, or a wish bone, this is a great turkey dinner option.

Move over pot roast, a turkey breast roast is a very Sunday worthy family dinner.

Step 1: melting butter for basting a boneless turkey breast roast.
Step 2: Making a basing sauce to cook a boneless turkey breast roast.

Step 3: A boneless turkey breast roast on a roasting pan.
Step 4: Placing cheesecloth on a boneless turkey breast roast.

Can I Make Gravy Using A Turkey Breast Roast?

A boneless turkey breast roast is a rolled and tied affair, which can include some skin to add some fat to the meat as it cooks. You may want to pick up a packet of gravy mix at the store or the roast may come with a gravy packet included. More than likely there won’t be enough drippings to make turkey gravy.

Can I Use This Recipe To Make A Bone-in Turkey Breast?

I’ve made this recipe with both a boneless turkey breast roast, and a whole bone-in turkey breast. Both options turned out quite moist and delicious. Keep in mind, a bone-in turkey breast will have the skin in tact. You can still use this basting method with success and there will be more drippings at the bottom of the pan for turkey gravy.

Tips For Success

  • Use a roasting pan with a roasting rack to elevate the turkey breast off the bottom of a pan. Letting air circulate around the whole roast will insure a more even cook.
  • Baste the turkey liberally with the seasoned wine/butter mixture every thirty minutes using a silicone brush. Set a timer so you don’t forget.
  • Use a meat thermometer to insure cooked turkey reads 165 degrees. Place the probe in the center of the roast for accurate temperature.
  • Let the turkey roast rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  • Be generous with that wine basting sauce. Use a silicone basting brush and each time you base give it about 3 – 4 healthy douses.

Boneless Turkey Breast Roast … It’s What’s for the Holidays

Chorizo Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast

By 11 Comments

Chorizo Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast is one of those very special dinners that make you glad you took the extra effort. Chicken breasts are stuffed with browned chorizo, diced Hatch chile peppers and Mexican melting cheese, then rolled and coated in a Panko bread crumb and chili powder mixture. Then baked, the result is divine for any Southwestern food lover.

Chorizo cheese stuffed chicken breast served with rice and grilled knob onions.

It’s been years since I’ve served stuffed  chicken breast. I guess for the reason that it’s an annoying and somewhat tedious proposition. Pounding the chicken breasts thin, followed by the task of rolling them up without everything falling out.

This past Saturday we went to friends Kathy and Tom’s house for dinner. She prepared an absolutely gorgeous stuffed chicken breast dinner, a recipe from Giada, Antipasti Stuffed Chicken Breast. It was so delicious that I was totally inspired to stuff some chicken at home.

Making the decision to lean toward a Southwestern version, I decided chorizo, chili and cheese sounded like a good place to start.

How to Stuff Chicken Breasts:

I did not follow Giada’s instructions for stuffing, but went with the way I was accustomed to, which is pounding the chicken breasts as thin as I could get them. I used a meat mallet and and use the side which had smaller spikes.

  • I’ve seen many instructions to place chicken breasts in between two sheets of waxed paper. I’m not a fan of this method as it seems the paper alway tears and grinds into the meat. I like using a sturdy gallon-sized unsealed zip lock bag. No reason to wallop it to death, just hit it until the thicker end starts to flatten. You can also use a rolling pin to gently encourage an even piece of meat. Or grab a sauce pan, the bottom flat surface works like a charm.
  • Once the chicken breasts are even, place the chicken on a flat surface, a cutting board is good, and take a scoop of filling and place in the middle of the breast. With your hand, press the filling onto the breast so it forms a more solid mass. Starting at the tapered end of the breast roll as tightly as you can. Roll in the butter and the breading and immediately place seam side down in the baking dish you are going to use. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • I’ve seen many recipes that use kitchen twine to hold the chicken together or even a long wooden pick. I’ve never done this, but I’m sure it’s a good idea if you have stuffing ingredients that stubbornly won’t  press together easily.
  • For the recipe I mentioned above, Giada lays the stuffing on one side of the chicken and folds the breast in half. Either way, the key to keeping all that flavor inside of the chicken is to compress the filling onto the chicken with your hand before rolling or folding.
  • You can also simply make a slit in the side of each unflattened chicken breast and push filling into the chicken that way. I’ve never done it, but don’t know why it wouldn’t be an easy solution…but without such a dramatic rolled layers visual for your finished product.

Recipe for Chorizo Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts:

Baked chorizo, hatch chile, cheese stuffed chicken breasts with spanish rice and grilled knob onions.

This recipe is full of wonderful Southwestern flavor. Combining chili powder and cumin with Panko bread crumbs makes for a colorful and spicy coating.

The chorizo, Hatch chile peppers and Mexican melting cheese bring the dish together for a cheesy texture and Fiesta themed dish.

But the true star is the addition of this beautiful recipe for Homemade Enchilada Sauce. It brings everything together for one big wow.

I used chicken breast halves for this recipe. A full chicken breast, rarely seen at the grocery store, would include the two halves connected by a breast bone. You’ll usually find chicken breast halves packaged either bone-in and skin-on or boneless and skinless.

I hope you give this Chorizo Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast recipe a try. Another cheese stuffed chicken breast recipe we like is this one for Chicken Galliano. Check that one out for sure.

Fresh Peach Blueberry Pie

By 2 Comments

This is a recipe for a fresh peach blueberry pie with a homemade butter pie crust (Pate Brisee). Fresh fruit, a little bit of spice and you’ve got a beautiful fresh peach pie. A delicious peach recipe to use up those Summer Palisade peaches.

Peach and blueberry pie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Every year I order a big box of absolutely beautiful Colorado Western Slope Peaches from Highlands Ranch Rotary. They arrived last week, and my first project was this beautiful fresh peach blueberry pie.

About Palisade Peaches

Palisade Peaches are famously grown on our Western slope, in and around the town of Palisade. Colorado peaches are known for being extra juicy and extra sweet, thanks to the long sunny hot days and cool Colorado Summer nights. That equals perfect conditions for fruity sugars to develop. To learn more about what makes a Colorado Peach so special, check out this article about Colorado Western Slope Peaches.

But first, let’s talk pie pans. As I’ve mentioned in past posts, I’m obsessed with all the tart pans I’ve collected since attending Culinary School. Every pie we made was baked in a tart pan rather than a conventional pie pan. I adore the visual aspect of the  end result. A thinner crust version than that of a traditional pie, slightly fancier to the eye…it truly can be a show stopper.

Peach blueberry pie in a 9" tart pan with lattice topping.

Made with the same buttery flaky crust as for a pie pan, whether filled with delicate pastry cream or fresh fruit, my heart skips a beat when I pull it from the oven. Especially when it’s topped with a beautiful lattice crust.

And of course you can use your pie pan for this recipe. Which ever you use, it should be a 9″ pan.

This peach blueberry pie recipe is a little more complicated than just slicing fresh peaches and placing them on the pie dough. A sweet slurry is cooked stovetop, where fruit juice and corn starch makes a thicker pie filling.

One that’s not too gloppy and one that’s just thick enough to give that crust a fighting chance to become tender, flaky and not soggy. A technique and recipe I learned at Culinary School.

An Easy Way To Peel Peaches:

Peel the peaches using this easy method.

Poaching peaches for easy peeling.
Blanched peaches in an ice bath.
  • Boil water in a tall sauce pan. Drop the peaches into the boiling water and pull them out with a large slotted spoon thirty seconds later.
  • Place them in a water bath. In just a few minutes the skin with practically slide off those sweet peaches.

So with peach season in full swing, grab a few peaches and please make a peach pie. You know everyone wants a slice. There’s nothing more beautiful than a slice of fresh peach pie dotted with beautiful purple-blue blueberries, it’s a sight to behold.

And please make your own pie crust. You can take a look a my recipe for Pate Brise, the traditional French Butter Pie Crust Recipe, Step By Step. It’s easier than you think.
