Potato-Crusted Halibut
- 2 egg yolks
- salt
- Pepper
- 1 c. all-natural dehydrated potato flakes
- Pinch of fresh thyme leaves
- 6 halibut fillets
- 6 tbsp. pure olive oil
- Juice of half a lemon
- Beat the egg yolks with salt and pepper in a shallow pan (a pie pan works great) to make an egg wash.
- Combine the potato flakes with the thyme leaves and spread out on a plate or shallow pan.
- Season the fillets with salt and pepper on one side only.
- Dip just the seasoned side of the fish into the egg wash, being careful not to let any egg wash drip down the sides of the fish.
- Dip the egg-washed side of the fish into the seasoned potato flakes and press down a bit to make them adhere.
- Set aside, crust-side down.
- Repeat with the remaining fillets.
- Pour olive oil into a large saute pan, arrange the fillets crust side down in the pan, and place on the burner over medium-high heat.
- (Do not preheat the saute pan; the fish will not stick.)
- After about 3 minutes, the crust should be golden brown; if it is not, raise the heat to high and continue cooking.
- When the crust has turned golden brown, season the fish with salt and pepper, flip it over, and cook for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat; leave the fillets in the pan for 1 minute.
- Deglaze the pan with the lemon juice, being careful not to squeeze it directly on the fish, which would soften the crisp crust you have worked so hard to develop.
- Swirl the pan a few times to incorporate the lemon juice.
- Remove from pan and serve!
