Halibut Provençal with Tomatoes and Zucchini image

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the pan
1 onion, preferably Vidalia, chopped
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, plus thyme sprigs for garnish
2 small zucchini, chopped
2 tomatoes, cored, seeded, and chopped
20 kalamata or other brine-cured black olives, pitted and halved
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets, skinned, or 1 large (24-ounce) fillet, skinned

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush a shallow, ovenproof casserole with olive oil.
To make the sauce, heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and chopped thyme and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the zucchini and tomatoes and sauté until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the olives and vinegar. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
To cook the fish, place the halibut in the prepared casserole and turn in the oil to lightly coat; season with salt and pepper. Spoon the vegetable mixture over the fillets. Bake until just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes. Garnish with additional sprigs of thyme.

4 cups grape tomatoes
3 garlic cloves, peeled
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

When ready, the tomatoes will have begun to shrivel and the liquid in the dish should have thickened. Serve hot from oven.
