Steps:
- Lay the halibut cheeks out in a single layer and pat dry with a dry paper towel. Season them with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil on medium heat.
- Add a few halibut cheeks at a time (working in batches to not overcrowd the pan) to the heated oil and cook until they are browned on one side, then flip and continue to cook on the second side until browned. This will take between 3 - 4 minutes per side.
- While the halibut cheeks cook, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil on medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the finely diced shallots and sliced garlic to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until the shallots and garlic begin to soften.
- Next, add the herbs de Provence to the shallot mixture and cook for about 1 minute stirring. Add the lemon juice and wine to the shallot mixture and cook until the sauce reduces to about half.
- Once reduced, add the sliced cherry tomatoes and cook just until they soften.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and serve with the halibut cheeks.
- Garnish with fresh lemon zest.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.
- Put fish in an oiled shallow baking dish and sprinkle with teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- Force garlic through a garlic press into a bowl, then whisk in oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Whisk in mayonnaise and spread over fish.
- Bake, uncovered, until fish is just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
BREADED HALIBUT CHEEKS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F.
- Put the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor. With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil. Process until the bread crumbs are coated in the oil, about 15 seconds.
- In three separate bowls, place the bread crumb mixture, flour, and eggs. Add the milk to the eggs and whisk to combine.
- Put a baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. Dredge 1 halibut cheek in the flour and shake off any excess. Then dip the cheek in the eggs and then in the bread crumbs, pressing the bread crumbs lightly to coat the flesh evenly. Repeat the process with each piece of fish. Remove the pan from the oven and place the pieces on the hot baking sheet.
- Bake the cheeks for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bread crumb coating is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the halibut reads 140˚F. If additional cooking time is needed, continue to bake the fish, checking the temperature at 2-minute intervals. If you have a convection oven, turn it on for this recipe, as it makes the cheeks a beautiful brown color, but reduce the cooking time to 5 or 6 minutes total.
- Serve immediately.
