Potato Crusted Halibut
April 10, 2011 – 5:40 pmThis is another recipe inspired by one at Central Market. The orginal recipe called for packaged pre-shredded potatoes, which would work just fine for a weeknight shortcut, but for a Sunday dinner, I grated my own potato. This would work great with any firm fish like salmon or cod. We thought this was just okay, so I probably won’t repeat it.
Potato Crusted Halibut
Serves 2
1 large white potato, about 1/2 pound
2 tbsp all purpose flour
kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound halibut fillet, about 2 inches thick, skinned and cut into two portions
1 tbsp canola oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grate the potato into a mixing bowl. Stir in the flour and season well with salt and pepper.
Season the fish lightly with salt on both sides and top with the potato mixture.
Heat the oil in an oven proof skillet over medium high heat. Place the fish potato side down and brown well, about 5 minutes. Gently flip the fish over and move the skillet to the oven. Bake until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily, about 7-10 minutes per inch of thickness. Serve warm.

I did potato crusted cod once, and did not think it was worth repeating either. it was very very thin sliced yukon gold potatoes arranged sort of to look like scales then baked. seemed like a good idea but the potato was not crispy enough when the fish was done.
