Bought 2.5kg halibut loin from Billingsgate for £55. About 1cm thick at one end and 2.5cm at other end. Alex and Femke helped cook for NYE.
- Pan cooked some strip of roast pepper
- Sliced red potatoes and parboiled
- Roasted halves of small onions
- Made a big parcel from foil. Put in potatoes, scattering of onions and peppers. Also capers and lemon slices. Put halibut on top and closed parcel.
- Roasted for 45 mins (at 180c?). After 30 mins the thinner part was cooked but the thicker part definitely needed more time.
- served with sauce of oil, capers, parsley + extra peppers
Went well, would do same again exactly.
Bought from stall at back of Billingsgate near cafe, around 5:30am. They weren't very friendly. Next time could try the one MSC certified place, which was closed when I was there.
