Ingredients
  • 4 each Halibut fillets, fresh, 5 - 6 oz. each
  • Salt to season
  • Fresh ground black pepper to season
  • 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 cup Whole Grain Mustard Sauce (recipe follows)
  • Cooking oil as needed
  • Fresh herb sprigs to garnish
For the Herb Crust:
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Shallots, minced
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. Lemon zest

  • 1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves, minced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt to taste

Method
Prepare Chef Larry's Whole Grain Mustard Sauce, reserve. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare Herb Crust by combining ingredients and mixing well. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Smear one side of halibut fillets with a thin coating of Dijon mustard, then dip in savory herb crust mixture. Pat down gently to adhere crust to fish.

Heat oil in a saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Place coated halibut fillets crust side down into pan. Cook until crust becomes golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Remove and place (herb crust side up) in a baking dish. Place in preheated oven and roast at 350 degrees F for 8 - 10 minutes or until done. Heat Whole Grain Mustard Sauce and place in the center of warm serving plates or a platter and place cooked halibut fillets on top of sauce. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs. Serve immediately.
