Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
4 plump garlic cloves, minced or mashed in a mortar and pestle
1/4 cup capers, drained, rinsed and finely chopped or mashed with the garlic in a mortar and pestle
2 pounds tomatoes, peeled, seeded and finely chopped, or 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes with juice
Salt, preferably kosher salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
Pinch of sugar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon slivered fresh basil leaves
1 recipe tomato-caper sauce, above
6 6-ounce halibut fillets (Choose Pacific halibut over Atlantic halibut. According to the Environmental Defense Fund and the Blue Ocean Institute, Pacific halibut fisheries have been properly managed, but they are overfished in the Atlantic.)
Salt, preferably kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 lemon slices

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, three to five minutes, and add the garlic and the capers. Cook, stirring, for three to five minutes, until the onion has softened thoroughly and the mixture is fragrant. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Stir in the thyme, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or cold.
  • Make the sauce as directed and keep warm.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough for the fish to lie flat. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and arrange in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, and place a round of lemon on each one. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and place in the oven. Bake 15 minutes. Check the fish; if you can cut into it with a fork, it is done. If it doesn't yield, (halibut fillets tend to be thick can take time to cook), cover and return to the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven, and check again. Remove the lemon slices from the fish.
  • Place a spoonful of sauce on each plate, and place a piece of fish partially on top. Spoon some of the liquid from the baking dish over the fish. If you wish, top the fish with another spoonful of sauce, garnish with basil leaves and serve.

ONE-PAN ROASTED FISH WITH CHERRY TOMATOES



One-Pan Roasted Fish With Cherry Tomatoes image

In this quick, elegant dinner, cherry tomatoes are roasted with garlic, shallots, sherry vinegar and a drizzle of honey, turning them into a sweet and savory condiment for simple roasted fish. This versatile, year-round recipe is delicious with juicy end-of-summer tomatoes or even with a pint from the grocery store. Thick white fish such as cod or halibut work best here. Serve with rice, couscous or your favorite grains, and a green salad.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots (about 1 large)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
4 (6-ounce) skin-on mild white fish fillets, such as cod or halibut
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest (from about 1/2 lemon)
Chopped fresh basil, for serving
Chopped fresh mint, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the tomatoes, shallots and garlic in a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Pour over the tomatoes and toss to combine. Roast until the tomatoes have collapsed and the shallots are translucent, about 15 minutes.
  • While the tomatoes roast, pat the fish dry with paper towels, brush all over with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the tomatoes, move them to the sides of the dish and place the fish fillets, evenly spaced, in the center. Roast until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the entire dish with the lemon zest, basil and mint. Serve the fish with the tomatoes, spooning any remaining juices on top.

ROASTED HALIBUT OVER BRAISED POTATOES, TOMATOES AND OLIVES



Roasted Halibut over Braised Potatoes, Tomatoes and Olives image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

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.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Two 6-ounce skinned and deboned halibut filets
Kosher salt
1/3 medium white onion, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 anchovy filets, crushed into a paste
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1 tablespoon capers
1 cup crushed San Marzano tomatoes
1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Sprinkle the halibut with some salt. Sear the halibut on both sides until lightly golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the halibut to the prepared baking sheet lined and bake in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Return the skillet to medium-low heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook the onions and garlic until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the anchovy paste, olives and capers to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the crushed tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes and bring to a low simmer for 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until the wine cooks off slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
  • To serve, spoon the sauce directly onto the plate and top with the halibut filets. Top with the basil and lemon zest.

ROAST HALIBUT WITH CHORIZO AND SPICY TOMATO BROTH



Roast Halibut with Chorizo and Spicy Tomato Broth image

Categories     Tomato     Side     Roast     Steam     Stew     Dinner     Halibut     Kosher     Simmer     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 (5- to 6-ounce) whole Mexican-style chorizo sausages
1 pound fingerling potatoes
Tomato Broth
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 cups peeled, seeded, and diced fresh tomatoes, or 2 cups canned whole peeled tomatoes in puree, broken up by hand
1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 cups chicken stock (page 190) or vegetable stock (page 191)
1/2 cup Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc
Kosher salt
4 (4- to 5-ounce) skinless halibut or cod fillets
Freshly ground black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Heat the olive oil in a small ovenproof skillet over moderate heat. Add the chorizo and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the sausages feel firm, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then cut into 1-inch-thick slices.
  • Put the potatoes in a saucepan with salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, adjust the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool. Peel, then cut into 1-inch chunks.
  • For the tomato broth: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the bell peppers and sauté, stirring, for about 3 minutes to soften them, then add the garlic and chile flakes. Lower the heat and cook for about 1 minute to release the garlic fragrance, then add the tomatoes and the oregano, rubbing the herb between your fingers. Simmer briskly until the tomatoes soften, about 2 minutes, then add the stock and wine. Simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken the liquid slightly, then add the chorizo and potatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes to develop the flavor. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange the fillets on top of the stew, then cover and simmer gently until the fish is fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Divide the chorizo, potatoes, and broth among 4 soup bowls, then top each portion with a fish fillet. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Carneros Pinot Noir or another medium-bodied red wine with zesty fruit.
