Lobster stuffed Halibut
So what are you supposed to do when your freezer is running out of room, but the fishing is still good? COOK MORE FISH!
Decided to try something completely different. Here's what I came up with. I'm not much for taking measurements so just go with what feels right ![]() I used everything in the picture except for Mayo/Hot Sauce/ Egg I call it "Lobster Stuffed Halibut with a broiled Lobster tail over a bed of Lobster Stuffing over a bed of Baby Spinach" .... your move ![]() Ingredients - Olive Oil - Parsley - Shallots - Garlic - Halibut filet - Lobster tail - Butter - Baby spinach - Shredded Parmesan cheese - Plain cream cheese - Planko bread crumbs - Dry Sherry - A good craft beer for sipping on ![]() ![]() Start by steaming your lobster tail. ![]() While it's steaming, heat olive oil over meadium heat. Add crushed garlic and chopped shallots to the olive oil. Cook for 2 minutes or until it starts to turn brown. ![]() ![]() De-glaze the pan with about a 1/4 cup of dry Sherry. Then, slice the halibut filet into two thin slices (or use two thin pieces to begin with) Add the halibut to the pan for just a minute, no more. Flipping this dish in the broiler will be nearly impossible, so I precooked the Halibut just a little bit. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once the halibut is done. Check on your lobster tail, when it's finished take it out of the shell, and using two forks shred the lobster into a pile of finely shredded strings. Its ok if the tail is still a little undercooked, like mine was here ![]() ![]() Combine the Bread crumbs, a 1/2 stick of butter, handful of the Parmesan cheese, two spoon fulls of cream cheese, some parsley and the lobster into a pan. ![]() Cook until all the cheese is melted and the mixture starts to stick to itself, almost like a paste. Spread the mixture over the bottom piece of Halibut. Then put the top piece on and coat with olive oil, salt and pepper. (my piece broke here but it's not a deal breaker) ![]() Put it under the broiler. While you're in there might as well toss another lobster tail in. No reason to get stingey now.... ![]() Broil for 7-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the Hali ![]() While it's broiling, reduce two large handfuls of baby spinach down in some butter. I also had some extra stuffing left over, so I made a bed of lobster stuffing. I know, I know.... pretty ghetto ![]() ![]() Carefully slide the halibut onto the bed. I would suggest trying not to pick it up unless you're pretty confident it wont fall apart. ![]() |

Great topic Drake.
We all catch fish, and those threads are fun to read, and the accompanying pictures just as awesome, but the meals and the memories that come afterwards are just as fantastic. I think that we can all agree with that. Those were some of the best burgers I've ever had Neil. I think my cholesterol numbers went off the chart after you made those. So rich and delicious. Here are a few of my favs in no particular order. I'm not so great at taking pictures along the way, usually just the finished product. Cheez-It crusted rockfish on a bed of steamed spinach and brown rice Spicy YT, lobster, cucumber, and avocado rolls Baked WSB, done with chopped up pickles, mandarin oranges, and capers sitting on a bed of steamed spinach on top of a bed of whipped garlic mashed potatoes. Paired with a nice chilled Chardonnay. Just a PHAT slab of YT while you're breaking down the fish. Me and Sam the Cooking Guy taken last month.
