GRILLED HALIBUT STEAKS ON A BED OF ARUGULA WITH TOMATO SALAD AND GREMOLATA
Steps:
- Make the tomato salad: In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients and set aside.
- Make the gremolata: Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix. Set aside.
- Make the halibut: Place the olive oil and lemon juice in a large baking dish (or you can use a re-sealable baggie). Rinse the fish and pat it dry, season with the salt and pepper. Place the fish in the dish or re-sealable baggie, turning once to coat with the marinade. Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Scatter the clean arugula on a 19-inch round or oval platter. Grill the fish over a medium hot fire for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until the flesh is opaque through to the center. When finished grilling, remove the hot fish immediately to the platter of arugula. Top with the tomato mixture, and sprinkle the gremolata over the top of the tomatoes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- For the endive: In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the sugar and endive quarters and brown for about 2 minutes. Next, add the piquillo peppers, garlic and red onions and cook about 3 more minutes. Deglaze with the vegetable broth and add the beans. Cook until the broth is slightly reduced, about 4 minutes. Smash some of the beans to further thicken the sauce. Keep warm.
- For the gremolata: Combine together the mint, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, red pepper flakes and some kosher salt in a small bowl. Add enough extra-virgin olive oil to bind the mixture together, 1 to 2 tablespoons.
- For the fish: Sprinkle the halibut fillets on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large saute pan, add the canola oil and heat on high until there are small wisps of smoke coming from the sides of the pan. Add the fish to the pan and cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until firm but still translucent in the center, 4 more minutes.
- Spoon some endive onto each plate and then a piece of halibut. Top with some of the gremolata.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place squashes, potatoes, and shallots on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast 15 minutes. Add mushrooms and toss to coat. Roast until vegetables are tender and golden, about 15 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, combine arugula, parsley, pine nuts, lemon zest and juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Heat safflower oil in a cast-iron or other large ovenproof heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season halibut with salt and cook, undisturbed, 3 minutes. Transfer to oven, and then continue cooking until fish is opaque throughout, about 7 minutes. Serve fish with roasted vegetables and gremolata.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh halibut fillets that are about 1 inch thick.
- If you don't have clementines, you can use oranges or grapefruits instead.
- Be sure to zest the citrus fruits before juicing them. This will give the gremolata a more intense flavor.
- If you don't have a microplane, you can use a fine grater to zest the citrus fruits.
- To make the gremolata ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- When you're ready to serve the halibut, spoon the gremolata over the top and enjoy!
Conclusion:
This halibut recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this healthy fish. The clementine gremolata adds a bright and citrusy flavor that perfectly complements the halibut. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
