Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the domestically sourced, prepared halibut and all other ingredients for the lasagna. Properly prepared halibut is key to ensuring a clean, non-fishy taste.
Step 2
Carefully remove any remaining bones and fins from the halibut. Then, slice it thinly, almost like filleting, into wide, flat pieces. Thin slices cook quickly and blend beautifully with the sauce.
Step 3
Season the sliced halibut with a pinch of salt, a little coarse black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of cooking wine. Let it marinate for about 5-10 minutes. This step removes any potential fishy odor and enhances the flavor.
Step 4
Chop the ham and onion into roughly 0.5cm pieces. Finely mince the Korean green chilies (cheongyang peppers) after removing the seeds. The chilies add a pleasant spiciness that cuts through richness.
Step 5
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a little cooking oil. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until they become translucent and fragrant. Add the minced green chilies and ham, and cook for another 30 seconds. Pour in the store-bought tomato sauce, mix well, and season with a little salt to taste. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 6
In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Place the marinated halibut pieces, drained of excess liquid, one by one. Sear them on both sides until golden brown and slightly crispy. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the fish tough.
Step 7
Spread a thin layer of the prepared tomato sauce on the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Arrange the seared halibut pieces attractively over the sauce. Cover the halibut with a generous amount of tomato sauce, then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Step 8
Tear the cheddar cheese slice and scatter pieces over the shredded cheese. Place the oven-safe dish on an oven rack, ready for baking.
Step 9
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and bubbly. Adjust the baking time according to your oven’s specifications.
Step 10
Finally, sprinkle a little dried parsley over the top for a beautiful finish. Your Halibut Lasagna is ready! This dish is a sophisticated halibut recipe that everyone, from children to adults, can enjoy without hesitation. It’s perfect for special family gatherings or as an impressive brunch option. Enjoy your delicious meal!
