You're going to enjoy pecan crusted halibut featuring pan-seared seafood fillets covered w/ pecan panko crumbs, and cooked in a lemon wine sauce.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil; give it a good coating of non-stick spray. Pat the pieces of halibut dry with a paper towel, lightly season with salt and pepper, then place onto prepared baking sheet. Keep pieces about 1/2-1 inch apart.
In a separate bowl place Panko breadcrumbs, pecans, and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. Add melted butter, horseradish, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, dill, and lemon zest. Mix with a fork until mixture is crumbly.
Using a spoon and/or your hands, divide crumb mixture evenly on top of each fillet. Cover the top completely, pressing crumbs onto fish to get them to "stick". Scoop crumbs up that fall off fish; gently press them back onto fish. When all halibut pieces are coated, drizzle olive oil on top. Bake (uncovered) at 425° F for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through and crust is golden brown.
While halibut bakes, make lemon wine sauce. Heat olive oil in saucepan on medium. When hot, add shallots. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, until shallots are slightly soft. Turn heat to High. Pour in wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; stir and continue to cook for 6-8 minutes (or 5-6 minutes if making half recipe), until the liquid has reduced slightly. Turn heat back to Low. Add butter. Stir until butter has melted and is incorporated into sauce. Remove pan from heat. Stir in fresh (or dried) dill. Taste sauce; season with salt and pepper.
When halibut is done, crust will be a gorgeous golden brown color, and fish should be cooked through. Use a spatula to place halibut onto individual serving plates. Drizzle with lemon wine sauce. Serve, and enjoy!
