Serves 4
4 fillets Halibut, 4 to 6 ounces each
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons Kumquat Butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place halibut fillets in a glass baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn oven to broil and place kumquat butter on top of fish. Cook until butter is melted. Remove from oven and serve.
Kumquat Butter
6 each Kumquats, cut in half, seeds removed
1 teaspoon Shallots, minced
8 tablespoons Butter, unsalted, softened to room temperature
2 sprigs Thyme, chopped
4 Chives, minced
4 leaves Parsley, chopped
¼ teaspoon Cinnamon
pinch of Nutmeg
pinch of Allspice
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
Slice the kumquats as thin as you can. In a small mixing bowl combine all ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
Chef’s Note: You will have some kumquat butter left over but it holds up really well in the freezer and goes great on chicken, steak and bread.
