- 8 ounces broccoli rabe (about 1/2 a bunch)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup toasted walnuts
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 4 cups olive oil
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 4 (6-ounce) pieces halibut
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the broccoli rabe and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked broccoli rabe to an ice bath and let cool, about 3 minutes.
- Shake off the excess water and transfer to a food processor.
- Add the garlic, walnuts, honey, salt, and pepper process until smooth.
- With the machine running gradually pour in the extra-virgin olive oil.
- Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and stir in the Parmesan.
- Cover and set aside.
- In a medium, heavy skillet, heat the olive oil and vegetable oil over medium-low heat.
- Using a deep-fry thermometer, heat the oil to 200 degrees F. Reduce the heat to low to sustain the 200 degree F temperature.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper.
- Gently place the fish in the oil making sure it is submerged beneath the surface.
- Poach the fish until just cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Place about 1/2 cup of Broccoli Rabe Pesto on a serving plate and gently smooth out to make a bed for the fish.
- Using a slotted fish spatula gently transfer the cooked fish from the poaching oil to the serving plate, placing the fish on top of the bed of pesto.
- Serve immediately.
