Poached halibut, beurre blanc
Delicate cook and a sauce that splits if you look away.
This is the base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.
- Halibut fillet2.6 lb
- Butter8.5 oz
- White wine1 cup
- Shallot2 ea
Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- About 25 minutes on the stove at this scale. Bringing a bigger volume up to temperature takes longer than the multiple suggests; the simmer afterwards does not.
- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for poached halibut, beurre blanc, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 6 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- Stovetop occupancy is about 25 minutes at this scale. Bring to a simmer, finish, hold covered.
- Hold time is short (10 min). Finish close to service. Do not guess a longer hold.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Day-of only. Do not make this ahead and invent a hold.
Base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 25 minutes at the stove either way.
Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
