Pan Fried Halibut with Gnocchi and Mushrooms Recipe

What Is Gnocchi And How Does It Pair With Halibut?

Gnocchi is an Italian style dumpling often sold next to the regular pasta in grocery stores. It can be used in many of your favorite pasta recipes adding a doughier texture to recipes than pasta. The pillowy texture of potato gnocchi is terrific for pairing with a mild and light protein like halibut. Together they create a dish that’s satisfying with a creamy sauce full of mushrooms and herbs.

Learn About Our Halibut!

Here at Sizzlefish, our halibut is wild caught in the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska, off Baranof Island. Our halibut is carefully selected to yield perfectly tender, flaky fillet servings sold in 4-ounce portions. Thaw your portions of halibut in the refrigerator the night before you plan to use them. Alaskan halibut is naturally lean and full of protein. Wild caught halibut is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. This type of fatty acid helps to fight inflammation throughout the body, helping to protect the heart and brain. 

All About The Sauce!

The sauce is creamy, yet light made with a combination of chicken stock and half and half. As the sauce simmers it will thicken and the starches in the potato gnocchi will help it thicken as well. Thyme, garlic and paprika add herb flavor throughout while mushrooms add savory umami flavor. We used cremini mushrooms also known as baby bella mushrooms, but you can use white button or sliced portobello caps.
