- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces morels, cleaned and halved lengthwise (see page 64)
- 1 cup shucked, blanched English peas
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons minced chives
- 4 (4-ounce) halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 4 Cincinnati radishes, shaved with a mandoline
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Heat the butter in a saute pan over medium heat and add the mushrooms.
- Saute the mushrooms until soft, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the peas.
- Toss to warm through.
- Season with salt and pepper and add the chives.
- Keep warm.
- Pat the fish fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat, heat the olive oil until it just starts to smoke.
- Add the fillets and turn off the heat.
- Give the pan a wiggle to make sure there is oil under all of the fillets.
- Turn the heat back on to high.
- Sear until golden brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes, turn the fish, and then transfer the pan to the oven.
- Roast for 3 to 4 minutes, or until barely cooked through.
- Put a mound of mushroom mixture in each of 4 warmed bowls.
- Top each with a halibut fillet and sprinkle the radishes over the top.
- Drizzle with olive oil and serve.
