Ingredients

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
Four 6- to 8-ounce halibut fillets, skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 middle neck clams, cleaned
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 shallots, roughly chopped
Small bundle fresh parsley with stems, roughly chopped (optional)
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup Champagne
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 fresh bay leaf
1 shallot, thinly sliced
Juice and peel of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 tablespoon creme fraiche
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces uni
1 tablespoon finely sliced chives
1 zucchini, thinly sliced on a mandoline
Zest of 1 lemon
Extra-virgin olive oil
Caviar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
For the fish: Line a quarter sheet pan with parchment paper. Butter the parchment with 2 tablespoons of the butter, then smear another 2 tablespoons on the halibut fillets. Season the fillets on both sides with salt and place in the oven to slow roast until opaque and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a deep-sided pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter, the clams, garlic, shallots, parsley and a pinch of salt. And the wine, immediately cover with a lid and steam until the clams open, about 5 minutes. Transfer the clams to a bowl and set aside. Pour the clam cooking liquid through a fine-mesh strainer and set aside.
For the beurre blanc: Combine the reserved clam liquid, Champagne, thyme, bay leaf, shallots, lemon juice and peel and peppercorns in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduced by two-thirds (the saucepan will be almost dry), 10 to 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer fitted with a coffee filter into a small pot.
Place the pot over medium-low heat, add a few cubes of the chilled butter and whisk constantly until the butter is melted. Repeat the process 2 more times with the remaining butter. Don't allow the sauce to boil or it will break. Whisk in the creme fraiche and a pinch of salt. Using an immersion blender, blend the uni into the sauce, then stir in the chives. Remove the clams from their shells, add them to the beurre blanc and keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
For serving: Cover the bottom of each plate with a layer of zucchini slices, slightly overlapping them in a circular pattern. Top with the lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place a halibut fillet on the zucchini, spoon the beurre blanc over the fish, then top with caviar.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped chervil
2 tablespoons chopped tarragon
4 cloves chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped lemon zest
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups fresh bread crumbs
4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
Salt and pepper
2 large red onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, finely sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons each, finely chopped, fresh thyme, rosemary, parsley, combined in a bowl
1 large eggplant, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 zucchini, sliced 1/2-inch thick
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into eighths
2 yellow bell peppers, seeded and cut into eighths
5 plum tomatoes, cored and cut into 1-inch thick slices
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Brush each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, dredge, skin side down in the herb/bread mixture. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large saute pan until almost smoking. Add the fillets, crust-side down and saute until lightly golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, turn the fillets over and continue cooking until the fish is just cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes more.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium casserole, make a layer of onions, drizzle with a few tablespoons of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with some of the herbs. Repeat with the remaining vegetables. Cover and bake in the oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, pressing down on the vegetables occasionally, until the vegetables are completely tender. Garnish with fresh parsley.
