ONE-PAN BAKED HALIBUT RECIPE WITH VEGETABLES



One-Pan Baked Halibut Recipe with Vegetables image

You'll love this simple baked halibut recipe with colorful vegetables tossed in a citrus and olive oil sauce! Perfect for busy weeknights because it comes together in 20 minutes or less. If you can't find halibut, another white fish like cod, haddock, or red snapper would work well. This sheet pan dinner is a filling meal in one, but if you want to make the most of the zesty Mediterranean-style sauce, serve the halibut and veggies over a bed of barley or bulgur.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 2 lemons
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
2 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon seasoned salt, (more for later)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 pound fresh green beans
1 pound cherry tomatoes
1 large yellow onion, (sliced into half moons)
1 1/2 pound halibut fillet, (slice into 1 1/2-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together. Add the green beans, tomatoes, and onions and toss to coat with the sauce. With a large slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the vegetables to a large baking sheet (21 x 15 x 1 inch baking sheet, for example). Keep the vegetables to one side or one half of the baking sheet and make sure they are spread out in one layer.
  • Now, add the halibut fillet strips to the remaining sauce, toss to coat. Transfer the halibut fillet to the baking sheet next to the vegetables and pour any remaining sauce on top.
  • Lightly sprinkle the halibut and vegetables with a little more seasoned salt.
  • Bake in 425 degrees F heated oven for 15 minutes. Then transfer the baking sheet to the top oven rack and broil for another 3 minutes or so, watching carefully. The cherry tomatoes should begin to pop under the broiler.
  • When ready, remove the baked halibut and vegetables from the oven. Serve immediately.

BAKED HALIBUT WITH TOMATO CAPER SAUCE



Baked Halibut With Tomato Caper Sauce image

This is a pungent tomato sauce that I learned to make in Provence. It goes well with any type of robust fish.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, sauces and gravies, main course

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.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Zest of 3 lemons
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt

HALIBUT WITH TOMATO AND SPINACH

Categories     Sauce     Tomato     Side     Halibut     Spinach     Simmer

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds fresh plum tomatoes, halved and cored (about 4 cups)
2 pounds skinless halibut fillet, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
All-purpose flour, for dredging
1/4 plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 teaspoon peperoncino flakes
6 ounces fresh spinach, trimmed (about 12 packed cups leaves)

Steps:

  • Put the tomato halves in a food processor and process to make a smooth purée. Set aside.
  • Season the halibut chunks with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread the flour on a plate, and lightly dredge the halibut, tapping off the excess.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of the olive oil into a large skillet, and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the fish and brown on all sides, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes in all. Remove the fish to a plate and keep warm.
  • Add the sliced garlic to the skillet. Let the garlic sizzle for a minute, then pour in the tomato purée. Slosh out the food processor's work bowl with 1 cup hot water, and add that to the skillet. Season with the peperoncino. Bring to a rapid simmer, and cook until very thick, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Season the sauce with the remaining teaspoon of salt, and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Increase heat to high, add the spinach, and cook until spinach is just wilted into the sauce, about 3 or 4 minutes. Divide the spinach and sauce among plates, and serve the halibut on top.

SAUTEED HALIBUT WITH WILTED SPINACH AND TOMATO DRESSING



Sauteed Halibut With Wilted Spinach and Tomato Dressing image

This is a family favorite from Executive Chef Paul Klitsie, Ristorante Fraatelli in Portland, OR. The ingredient list looks long, but it really goes together quickly. The dressing needs to be made ahead as it needs to marinate for 4 hours.
