Inspired by the great Anton Mosimann, this is a very attractive dish as the red of the onions contrasts beautifully with the golden halibut fillets

 

2 fillets of halibut, skinned

2 red onions, finely sliced

50ml/2 fl oz red wine

1 tsp orange zest

1 tsp honey

2 tbsp olive oil

large knob of butter

a little melted butter

salt & freshly ground pepper

sprigs of tarragon to garnish

 

1 Season the fish fillets with salt & pepper, set aside.

 

2 Place the onions and red wine in a saucepan and season lightly. Cover and simmer gently until soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in the orange zest and honey, keep warm.

 

3 Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan, sauté the fillets for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden.

 

4 Arrange the onion sauce on warmed plates, place the fish fillets on top and brush them with the melted butter. Garnish with tarragon sprigs and serve immediately.
