Surprised the wife with a halibut filet. She loves it but will never buy it. I ran across a nice filet in the reduced price freeze or lose it bin at the local grocery. Only one so I grabbed it figuring I'd make it for her. I dredged it in seasoned flour and then egg wash and then grated parm and on the flat top. It browned up right away like in the first 2 minutes but the filet wasn't near cooked.
Realizing I probably need a oven to finish this thing without burning the outside to a crisp and I don't have a oven out in my man cave it occurred to me I do have one. Turn the heat off the flat top and cover the halibut. Worked perfect! After about 10 minutes and flipped once it was perfectly cooked. The residual heat along with being covered stopped the frying and created a oven.
Nice and golden just the way I know she likes it but still nearly raw.
The oven. I know it's such a simple thing and probably nothing new but it was one of those Duuhhh moments for me!
Sorry no after pics but it looked almost exactly like the first pic anyhow. Plated it covered in foil and brought it in with a couple lemon wedges. I know she's excited when she takes pics of her food and texts her friends!
