It’s hard to know what you’re salivating over more: the individual ingredients and how they’re described; the progressive layering of flavors and textures and how they get described, or the photos chronicling this recipe and attendant food prep.

But salivate, you will, as you read through “Pan-Roasted Halibut” from Mike O’Connell of Rooftop Gourmet with its white bean puree and chorizo crumble. There are many steps to preparing this dish, no question about it. But Mike has a knack for making them sound so, well, eeeeeasy and natural that you’ll quickly forget that what you’re building is a world-class entree right in your own home, just as he did in Southie.

Halibut has rarely looked so elegant and tasty. Enjoy!
