Halibut with Buckwheat and Remoulade Sauce

To prepare a delicious and healthy meal, we will start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. It is important to have carrots, parsnips, onion, buckwheat, oil, fish stock, mayonnaise, cucumbers, parsley, garlic, halibut fillets, and green beans on hand. Each ingredient contributes to creating a dish full of flavor.

The first step is to clean and chop the vegetables. The carrot, parsnip, and onion should be carefully peeled and then cut into small cubes. This step will ensure even cooking and perfect integration of flavors. Next, the buckwheat is rinsed well under cold running water to remove any impurities and to maintain its texture.

In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté them gently, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and fragrant. Then, the well-rinsed buckwheat is added to the pan, and everything is deglazed with fish stock. This step is essential for giving the dish a unique flavor. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 15 minutes without stirring, to keep the buckwheat whole and beautiful. Details about this technique can be found in Mrs. Lucia's post, which explains how to achieve the best results with buckwheat.

While the buckwheat is cooking, let’s prepare the mayonnaise. It will be mixed with finely chopped onion, cucumbers, parsley, and crushed garlic, creating a fresh and aromatic sauce, perfect to accompany the dish. It is recommended to make this mix just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh.

Now, let’s take care of the halibut. The fillets are fried in the same pan where we sautéed the vegetables, over medium heat, for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they turn golden and juicy. It is important not to overcook them to avoid drying them out. Next, the green beans, which have been blanched beforehand, are quickly sautéed in the same pan to gain a subtle fish flavor.

For plating, on a plate add a large spoonful of hot buckwheat, place the halibut fillets on top, and finish with the green beans. Finally, pour 2 tablespoons of remoulade sauce over the dish to add an extra layer of flavor.

This recipe is not only tasty but also healthy, being rich in nutrients and flavors. Enjoy your meal!
