Oven-baked halibut with apple butter sauce

Kveite hører tradisjonelt julen til og denne varianten serveres med en syrlig eplesmørsaus til. Trikset her er å bruke steketermometer for å få kveiten saftig og god.

Ingredients

Preparation

Method 

  • Preheat the oven to 175°C. 

  • Dry the halibut with a paper towel, sprinkle with salt and pepper and place in a greased ovenproof dish. 

  • Push a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fish and place it in the centre of the oven until the fish has a core temperature of 49°C. 

  • Allow the halibut to rest on the kitchen worktop for about 5 minutes. The temperature will rise a few more degrees, but should not exceed 55°C. 

  • Cut the broccoli, celery stalks and mangetout into small pieces and boil in salted water until they have some bite at the core, about 3 minutes. 

Apple butter sauce 

  • Cut the shallot into pieces. 
  • Boil the shallot and apple juice until the liquid is reduced by half. 
  • Strain into a new saucepan, add the whipping/double cream and bring to a boil. 
  • Add the butter and flavour with salt, lemon juice and Tabasco sauce. 
  • Finely chop the apple and add to the sauce just before serving. 
  • Serve the oven-baked halibut with vegetables, apple butter sauce and potatoes.
