Baked Halibut with Chestnut Crust, Wild Mushrooms and Jerusalem Artichokes


Jerusalem artichokes have a wonderful affinity with fish. This is a beautiful dish, and always a winner at parties.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 24 cooked chestnuts
  • 1 bunch of curly parsley, leaves picked from the stalks and chopped
  • 60 tablespoons of butter, melted
  • 4 x 160-170g filets of halibut 
  • 2 tablespoons groundnut oil
  • 12 jerusalem artichokes, boiled until soft and cut in half
  • 200g wild mushrooms, (preferably girolles) 
  • 12 large cloves of garlic, blanched twice
  • 80g of butter in cubes
  • 300ml chicken stock reduced by three quarters
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 190c.
  2. Blend half of the cooked chestnuts with two thirds of the parsley and 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a food processor until well combined. Lay the halibut filets flat on a baking tray, brush the remaining melted butter, season and coat with the chestnut mixture. Bake for 8 minutes; turn off the oven and leave to rest for 4 minutes.
  3. While the halibut cooks, heat a large pan with the groundnut oil and fry the Jerusalem artichokes for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and fry for 2 minutes, add the garlic, remaining chestnuts and butter and fry for 2 minutes more.  
  4. Transfer to a hot tray and add the cubes of butter to the pan, heat until the butter turns nutty brown then add the chicken stock and remaining chopped parsley.
  5. Serve the halibut surrounded with the mushroom mixture and spoon the sauce over the top.
