Morton's Halibut

Olive crusted Alaskan Halibut
Garlic White Wine Butter Sauce
¼ cup Shallots, chopped
1 TBL Unsalted butter,
½ cup White wine
1 cup Heavy whipping cream
1 lb Unsalted butter
¼ tsp Table salt
1/8 tsp White pepper
1½ tsp Fresh lemon juice
¼ stick Unsalted butter
1 TBL. Minced fresh garlic
1 TBL. Minced fresh Shallots
1 TBL.Minced fresh Parsley

Place 1 TBL of butter into a sauce pan over medium heat. Melt the butter and add the shallots. Sauté the shallots until soft. Do not brown the shallots! Add the white wine to the pan. Turn up the heat and reduce the white wine by ¾. Add the heavy cream and reduce by ½. Reduce the heat to low and little by little whisk in the butter. Let each addition of butter blend into the sauce before adding the next addition of butter. After all the butter is added and blended in, place the sauce in a blender and hit it with 2 or 3 short bursts. This will thicken the sauce and grind the shallots. (A hand held immersion blender is perfect for this step if you have one.) Strain the sauce through a fine strainer into a holding pan.
In a sauté pan over medium low heat, melt the unsalted butter. When the butter is melted add the garlic and shallots. Cook slowly until softened but not browned. Add the cooked garlic and shallots to the butter sauce. Add the parsley to the sauce. Hold the sauce in a pan and keep warm until needed.

Place the seared fillets in another, cold sauté pan. Add the unsalted butter to the pan. Divide the olive crust between the 4 fillets, spreading it over the fillets to completely covet the fillets. Place the pan into a pre-heated 450 degree oven and bake 4 to 6 minutes until just cooked through.

Meanwhile, wipe out the original sauté pan, Add the remaining olive oil and place over medium heat. Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook until the garlic begins to sizzle. Add the spinach to the pan and wilt it. Do not overcook, just wilt it.

Ladle 2 ounces of sauce on each of 4 hot serving plates. Spread the sauce out a little in a circle. Divide the wilted spinach between the 4 plates, placing the spinach in the center of the sauce. Pile the spinach up, do not spread it out.
Place 1 finished halibut on top of each pile of spinach. Place 1 tablespoon of micro greens on top of each halibut fillet. Garnish the each plate with a lemon half and serve immediately.
