1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt, to to taste

Black pepper, pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the white wine, white wine vinegar, and shallots. Cook until reduced to about 2 tablespoons of liquid.
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Gradually whisk in the cold butter, one piece at a time, until the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and tender (about 8-10 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the halibut fillets for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through.
Transfer the halibut fillets to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to finish cooking, if needed.
To serve, place a bed of leek fondue on each plate, top with a halibut fillet, and drizzle the beurre blanc sauce over the fish. Garnish with fresh chives.
