Grilled Halibut with Basil Leaves Asian Mushroom Sauce

Grilled Halibut with Basil Leaves & Asian Mushroom Sauce

Posted on January 9, 2011December 28, 2022 by PatriCa BB 雪冰

“Grilled fish with Asian mushroom sauce that tingles your taste bud”

This recipe was created for my Christmas dinner in 2010. We had chicken chop the year before, and so, I thought of cooking grilled fish this time. I always have craving for grilled fish fillet recently, but I always cook Chinese meals, if not pasta dishes in normal days. So, this Christmas gave me a good opportunity to explore this grilled fish recipe since I usually cook Western meal for Western festivals as it sounds more appropriate to such celebrations. Further more, grilled fish is much easier to prepare and cook. I wanted a quick cooking for this festive dinner so that I could spare some good time for making my own log cake.

The mushroom sauce I’ve cooked this time is slightly different from the usual creamy mushroom sauce. Mine was cooked with Asian condiments. For the oriental palates here. :)

Ingredients

2 pieces of Halibut fillet

1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon more for browning mushrooms

1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons more (or amount enough for both fillets and mushrooms)
Seasoning for fish fillet (A):
5 – 6 leafs of fresh Basil Leaves, chopped

Pinch of coarsely grounded black pepper

Pinch of chicken powder
Pinch of salt
Pinch of corn starch


Ingredients for Mushroom Sauce:
4 fresh Button mushrooms
1/2 fresh Shiitake mushrooms, sliced

2 Portabello mushrooms, sliced

2 dried Chinese Shiitake mushrooms, soaked to soften, trimmed and sliced

1 small onion, peeled and sliced
200ml of skimmed milk
Seasoning for Mushroom Sauce (B):
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce

½ teaspoon of dark soy sauce

1 teaspoon of sugar

Pinch of salt

Pinch of grounded white pepper

Pinch of coarsely grounded black pepper
½ teaspoon of corn starch, mixed with 1 tablespoon of water to make corn starch slurry
Garnish
Chopped Basil leaves
Instructions

Clean and pat dry fish fillets with paper towel. Season fish fillets on both sides with the listed seasonings A (except for cornstarch) for 15 munutes. Set aside.
Heat large frying pan with olive oil and butter over medium fire. Sprinkle cornstach on both sides of the fish fillets. Place fillets in the pan to sauté till both sides are cooked and browned. Adjust fire to low-medium, if fillets are large and thick. Dish up.
Clean the same frying pan, heat with olive oil and butter. Place mushrooms scatteredly in the pan and lightly brown them. Do not crowd the mushrooms in the pan. Brown the mushrooms in batches, if necessary. Then, brown the onions.
Transfer the sautéed mushrooms and onions into a pot away from stove, add in milk. Use a handheld blender to blend the mushroom mixture well.
Bring the pot back on stove over low heat, stir in the listed seasoning B (except for corn starch slurry).
Bring the pot to a light boil. Add in corn starch slurry to thicken the sauce. Heat off.
Laddle sauce and pour it on the fillets.
Garnish and serve together with any other side dishes.
Notes

A generous serving of my grilled fish fillet topped with Asian mushroom sauce counts roughly around 320kcal. It’s pretty healthy!

Tips: Browning of mushrooms is not a must, but it will elevate the aroma and flavour of the sauce, if done so.

* Use of handheld or electrical blender, simply transfer the mushrooms and onions into the electrical blender and add in milk to blend well. Then, transfer into the pot for boiling on stove.

* Sauté the fresh Basil leaves till crisped for a more aromatic garnishing, if desired. Otherwise, may use the pre-bottled chopped dried Basil leaves instead. Simply sprinkle some on the serving.
