Halibut with Sweet Carrots and Cider Glaze

I just made this fish dish last night. We all agreed it was quite tasty. The technique used to cook the carrots was new to me, it will now become my standard method for serving cooked carrots. I used halibut, however striped bass or any thick white fish would be delicious as well. The recipe was created by Chef Bruce Sherman, Chef and owner of the Chicago restaurant North Pond. Now I'm looking for an excuse to go to Chicago...

• 1/2 cup of apple cider
• 1/2 cup of cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 bunch of organic carrots (peeled and sliced on the diagonal 1/8 inch thick)
• 2 garlic cloves crushed and peeled
• 2 rosemary sprigs
• Salt and Pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 5 to 6 ounce skinless halibut fillets

In saucepan boil the cider and cider vinegar over medium high heat until reduced to about 2 tablespoons. This took about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the butter. Now in a separate non stick skillet heat the olive oil. Spread the carrots in the skillet in an even layer, add the garlic and the rosemary. Cook over medium heat without stiring for about 5 minutes. Now reduce the heat to a lower temperature and continue cooking the carrots until tender and caramelized, about 4 to 5 more minutes. Remove the garlic and the rosemary, I was too lazy to pick out all the garlic and believe me the carrots were TO DIE FOR. Season with salt and pepper, stir in the parsley and about 1/2 of the reduced cider glaze. Now onto the fish, you could just make the carrots..but the fish does round out the meal nicely. Heat vegetable oil in a non stick skillet. Season fish with salt and pepper and add to skillet. Cook until the fillets are lightly golden about 4 to five minutes. Turn fish over, cooking other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Place caramelized carrots on plates, position fish on top. Drizzle with the remaining cider glaze. Now tell me that doesn't look like a 42 dollar entree in a fancy sea food restaurant????????????
