4 –7 oz. pieces Halibut
12 large pieces Asparagus
4 oz. per person Herb Mashed Potatoes
Apple butter:
8 oz. Apple Juice
6 Black Peppercorns
4 oz. White Wine
2 Thyme Sprigs (whole stem on)
12 oz. Unsalted Butter
2 oz. Brown Sugar
Grilled Pear Salad:
2 Whole Pears
12 Dried Cranberries
8 sprigs Watercress
8 thin slices Red Onion
2 oz. Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
Dust the halibut with parsley, salt & pepper and lay skin side up in a hot skillet for approximately 2 minutes or until crust is created. Then place in 350-degree oven for 5 minutes. For mashed potatoes use your usual mashed potatoes recipe, but add some fresh thyme for flavor. As far as the asparagus goes; rub them with oil, salt & pepper, and place on the grill with low heat until they are soft enough to eat (beware of burning). Now for the sauce… first add juice, peppercorns, wine, thyme, and sugar all in a saucepan and reduce to syrup. Let cool to room temperature and then stir butter in with a whisk. The pear salad is easy, just cut your pears into slices. Brush with a little oil, salt & pepper; and grill for 1 minute on each side. Place all ingredients for Pear Salad in a bowl and mix.
