Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 cups diced tomato
1 medium jalapeno, diced
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons butter
4 (8-ounce) halibut fillets
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup Spanish olives, cut into thin rounds, plus 2 tablespoons olive juice from bottle
2 medium avocados, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until lightly colored, about 3 minutes. Add tomato, jalapeno and white wine. Cook until wine is reduced by 2/3, about 5 to 7 minutes. While sauce is reducing, heat butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Season fish with kosher salt. When butter is melted, add halibut to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, flip over and then transfer pan to preheated oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove sauce from heat when reduced and stir in olives and olive juice.
  • To serve, divide sauce equally among 4 dinner plates. Place halibut (first caramelized side up) in the center of each plate on top of the sauce. Place avocado slices on top of fish, sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro, as garnish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh halibut, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful bell peppers will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the halibut: Halibut is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Use a large skillet: You'll need a large skillet to accommodate all of the ingredients in this dish. A 12-inch skillet is a good size.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the ingredients to the skillet, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The halibut will be most tender and flavorful when it is hot off the stove.
