Ingredients

  • large bunch tarragon fresh
  • pounds pacific halibut filets skinless halved lengthwise ( if very wide)
  • 0.5 cup hazelnuts 
  • servings pepper freshly ground
  • halves optional: lemon 
  • 0.3 cup juice of lemon fresh
  • tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 0.5 cup butter unsalted (1 stick)

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • sauce pan
  • oven

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Spread hazelnuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden, 8-10 minutes. Coarsely chop; set aside.
  3. Reduce oven temperature to 300°F. Scatter tarragon sprigs on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Place halibut on top, drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast until halibut is just opaque in the center, 20-30 minutes, depending on thickness of fish.
  5. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until butter foams, then browns (don't let it burn), about 5 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat; let brown butter cool slightly. Stir in lemon juice, hazelnuts, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve fish with hazelnut brown butter sauce and lemon halves.
