Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 Yukon gold potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small lemon, thinly sliced, seeds removed
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved
1 tablespoon capers, drained
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
Four 6-ounce center cut halibut fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then line the bottom with the potato rounds. Season with salt and pepper, add enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Once the potatoes are softened, drain off the excess water so there is only a small amount left on the bottom. Scatter the lemons, shallots, tomatoes, wine, olives, capers and thyme over the potatoes. Dot with the butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and put on top of the potatoes.
  • Make a parchment lid for the skillet by cutting a piece of parchment paper that's larger than your skillet. Fold it in half, then fold it in half again in the other direction so you have creases on 2 sides of the paper. Starting with the folded tip, fold on the diagonal 3 times, like a fan, to form narrow triangles. Measure how large your parchment lid should be by placing the tip of the triangle above the center of the skillet and cutting it where it hits the edge of the skillet. Cut off the folded tip to make a small hole in the center. Open up the parchment and set aside.
  • Open the parchment lid and place it over the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft and the halibut is fully cooked and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the parchment lid. Serve, drizzled with some of the sauce from the skillet and some oil, then sprinkle with the parsley.

ROASTED HALIBUT WITH FRESH HERB SAUCE



Roasted Halibut With Fresh Herb Sauce image

Halibut with herb sauce dares to bring fish that's not smoked to the brunch table. Created by husband-and-wife team, Gayle Pirie and John Clark, of San Francisco's Zuni Cafe, when they resolved to rescue what they saw as an unloved meal from its second-class status. They accomplished this feat in part by moving beyond eggs. While this dish doesn't shout Christmas any more than it does brunch, it's ideal for the holidays: easy to prepare, perfect to serve to large groups and crafted to make the most of comforting seasonal ingredients. Match this simple, mild fish with a light, fresh and fruity white like the fragrant 1998 Antinori Galestro or the 1998 Anselmi Soave San Vincenzo. MAKE AHEAD The sauce can be refrigerated for several hours.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumb
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup arugula leaf, finely chopped

1 tablespoon oregano, finely chopped
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
6 (6 ounce) halibut, skinless or 6 (6 ounce) cod fish fillets

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°. In a medium bowl, toss the bread crumbs with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the minced garlic and the wine. Spread the crumbs on a pie plate and toast for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of oil with the parsley, arugula, marjoram, oregano, vinegar and the remaining 1 teaspoon of garlic. Season the herb sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly oil a large baking dish. Arrange the halibut fillets in the dish, season with salt and pepper and roast for 8 minutes. Sprinkle the fish with the toasted bread crumbs and bake for about 8 minutes longer, or until the fish is cooked through. Transfer the fish to plates, drizzle with the herb sauce and serve.
