Roasted Halibut w/ Beetroot, Bacon, Black Pudding Dressing & Horseradish Cream
Description
This recipe centers on halibut fillets lightly seared and oven-finished to ensure a moist, flaky texture. The beetroot, black pudding, and cured bacon are cooked together in a reduction of red wine, cabernet vinegar, and brown sugar to create a flavorful, slightly sweet dressing with a rich depth. This dressing coats the beetroot and meats, providing a contrast in texture and taste to the mild halibut.
The horseradish cream adds a cool, sharp counterpoint, mellowed by crème fraîche for creaminess. The preparation of both the fish and dressing uses straightforward pan and oven techniques that maintain the integrity of each ingredient’s flavor.
The dish is plated by combining the fish with the warm dressing and topping it with the horseradish cream, delivering layered flavors and a range of textures from tender fish to crisp bacon and soft beetroot. This dish suits a composed main course alongside simple sides or a light salad.
