HALIBUT WITH OLIVE TARRAGON BREAD CRUMBS ON ROASTED TOMATO AND GARLIC COULIS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a small bowl, combine bread crumb ingredients. Bread crumbs may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise and mustard. Arrange fish in a lightly oiled shallow baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly on top of fillets and pat bread crumbs evenly on top. Roast fillets in middle of oven until just cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Serve fillets on top of coulis.
- Lightly brush a shallow baking pan with additional oil and in it arrange tomatoes in one layer. Brush tomatoes with remaining tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap garlic tightly in foil and roast tomatoes and garlic in pan in middle of oven about 20 minutes, or until tomatoes are lightly browned and garlic is tender when pierced with a knife. Peel garlic and in a blender purée with tomatoes and vinegar until smooth, adding some water if coulis is too thick. Season coulis with salt and pepper. Coulis may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- In a saucepan, heat coulis over low heat, thinning with more water if too thick, and season with salt and pepper. Keep coulis warm.
BAKED HALIBUT WITH CRISPY PANKO
This fish will just melt in your mouth! I like to serve over a quinoa-kale salad. Also, please don't use regular bread crumbs as they are too dense.

ROASTED GARLIC AND PARMESAN BAKED HALIBUT
Fish can be intimidating for those who didn't grow up cooking or eating it. One of the best ways to ease people into eating anything unfamiliar is by smothering it in roasted garlic and cheese. Forget the old Italian maxim of not mixing seafood and cheese: they pair magically and make first forays into cooking and eating halibut easy to execute and even easier to eat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
- Cut off the top of the head of garlic and brush off some of the outer paper skin, leaving just the individually wrapped cloves. On a piece of foil, pour the olive oil over the garlic, then wrap the foil around it and place it in the oven for 45 minutes, until it's completely soft. For the recipe, you'll only need six cloves from the head, but it's worth making a whole head to keep the rest for spreading on crusty bread or adding to salads.
- Raise the oven temperature to 425˚F.
- Heat the butter in an oven-proof pan over low heat. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. When the butter is melted, add the halibut and put it into the oven for 10 minutes. The fish should be just cooked and opaque throughout.
- While the halibut cooks, blend or food process together six cloves of garlic, the mayonnaise, and parmesan. When the halibut is done, pull it out and generously smear the mayonnaise mixture on the top. Switch the oven to a high broil and return the pan to the still-hot oven for 4 minutes under the broiler, until the top is almost entirely golden brown.
- Remove and serve immediately.
