Ingredients
- 1-pound fresh Alaskan halibut, cut into 4 (4-ounce) square pieces (Filet halibut in half if too thick)
- 8 ounces fresh Alaska salmon, cut in 2-ounce rectangle pieces
- 4 ounces Alaskan king crab leg and claw meat, cooked and extracted from shell
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, including rind, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons each finely chopped fresh tarragon, chive, Italian parsley,
- 4 tablespoons shallots, very small dice, divided
- 1 pound yams, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced, plus 6 large cloves, roughly chopped
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1-ounce extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 bottle Riesling, reserving – ounce
- 1/2 pound whole butter, reserving 2 tablespoons, small dice
- 1/2 pound assorted mushrooms, cleaned, halved or sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 sprigs chives, 4 inches long, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cut halibut and salmon into appropriate weights, cover each piece with plastic wrap and pound out with flat side of a meat tenderizer, or meat mallet, to 1/4-inch thickness. In a small bowl combine crabmeat, Brie cheese, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs, 1 tablespoon shallot, 1 teaspoon minced garlic and salt and pepper, to taste. Season both sides of halibut with salt, pepper and some of the fresh herbs. Lay on an individual piece of plastic wrap, twice as big as the fish piece, flesh side down. Lay salmon piece on top of halibut, directly in the middle. Season with salt and pepper. Spread 1/4th of the crab and Brie mixture in the middle of the salmon. Do this with all 4 pieces of fish. Take plastic wrap that the fish is laying on and wrap fish into a tight roll, twisting the ends to make a “tube”. Refrigerate.
- Toss yams, roughly chopped garlic, thyme sprigs and olive oil in a bowl until completely coated. Season with salt and pepper. Spread evenly on a sheet pan and roast in a 350 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. While yams are roasting combine Riesling and 2 tablespoons shallots in a small saucepan. Reduce by 3/4 over medium-low heat. Whisk in butter a little at a time until completely combined. Once all the butter is beaten in, remove from heat and season with salt. When yams have about 10 minutes left to finish, take fish rolls from the refrigerator and slice each roll into 3 or 5 equal sections. Remove plastic wrap after cutting and lay shingled out on well-greased sheet pan and put into oven with yams. When yams are done, fish should be done as well. While fish and yams are cooking, heat saute pan with 1 tablespoon whole butter. Once hot, drop mushrooms into pan and saute over medium-high heat until crispy and tender. Season with 1 tablespoon shallot, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, salt and pepper, to taste. Remove yams and fish from oven. Place a 3 or 4-inch ring mold in center of plate and fill with roasted yam hash, pressing down firmly. Remove ring mold. Place mushroom mixture on top of yam cake, allowing it to spill slightly over the side. Take fish roll and shingle in front and up yam cake, creating some height with the back piece of fish. Drizzle 1-ounce Riesling butter over front edges of fish slices. Garnish with 2 chive sprigs and serve.

Reviews
Is there a healthy version of this recipe? seems very good but very fat? can you suggest alternatives?
As I read this recipe, I thought “this will never work.” First of all, how does one “finely chop” soft cheese? And how do you make sauteed mushrooms “crispy and tender”? It seems that the writer may have never set foot in a kitchen before! But the dish turned out to be pretty good. In order to make the roulades all look nice, you would have to have a lot of waste, cutting the ends of the rolls off so that they are even. The thicker cut roulades (about 1 inch) turned out better then the thinner ones. Also, the sauce recipe makes enough to feed 20 people! I would cut it by at least 1/4.
