ROASTED HALIBUT OVER BRAISED POTATOES, TOMATOES AND OLIVES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then line the bottom with the potato rounds. Season with salt and pepper, add enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Once the potatoes are softened, drain off the excess water so there is only a small amount left on the bottom. Scatter the lemons, shallots, tomatoes, wine, olives, capers and thyme over the potatoes. Dot with the butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and put on top of the potatoes.
- Make a parchment lid for the skillet by cutting a piece of parchment paper that's larger than your skillet. Fold it in half, then fold it in half again in the other direction so you have creases on 2 sides of the paper. Starting with the folded tip, fold on the diagonal 3 times, like a fan, to form narrow triangles. Measure how large your parchment lid should be by placing the tip of the triangle above the center of the skillet and cutting it where it hits the edge of the skillet. Cut off the folded tip to make a small hole in the center. Open up the parchment and set aside.
- Open the parchment lid and place it over the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft and the halibut is fully cooked and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove the parchment lid. Serve, drizzled with some of the sauce from the skillet and some oil, then sprinkle with the parsley.

Steps:
- In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the grapeseed oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Sear the fish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add the thyme and juice of 1/2 a lemon and baste the fish with the sauce. Remove the halibut from the pan to a serving platter. Add the olive oil to the pan and stir in the tomatoes, the garlic and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Cook for 2 minutes and then add the parsley. Stir to combine and serve on top of the fish.
BUTTER-ROASTED HALIBUT WITH ASPARAGUS AND OLIVES
Vegetables that are best served crisp-tender are a great accompaniment to a slow-roasted fish because they will come out perfectly cooked at the same time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Thinly slice one-quarter of asparagus into coins and place in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Heat butter and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small saucepan over medium. As soon as butter is melted, add Aleppo-style pepper and remove from heat.
- Season fish with salt and black pepper on both sides and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Scatter ramps and remaining asparagus around fish; season with salt and black pepper. Pour butter mixture over fish and vegetables. Give vegetables a toss to evenly coat. Roast, undisturbed, until fish is just opaque in the center and asparagus is bright green and tender, 15-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
- Toss olives, chives, lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. tarragon, and remaining 5 Tbsp. oil with reserved asparagus; season with salt and black pepper.
- Transfer fish to a platter; top with ramps and asparagus. Spoon some olive mixture over, then scatter tarragon leaves over. Serve with potatoes, lemon wedges, and remaining olive mixture alongside.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat, add garlic, and saute 1 minute. Add breadcrumbs, tarragon, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Stir well.
- Place halibut on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Combine mayonnaise and horseradish; spread over each fillet. Top with crumbs, patting lightly to help them adhere. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until fish is tender and crumbs are golden.
Tips:
- To achieve crispy bread crumbs, use stale bread and pulse it in a food processor until fine.
- For a more flavorful coulis, roast the tomatoes and garlic at a high temperature until slightly charred.
- To ensure the halibut is cooked evenly, use a thick fillet and cook it skin-side down first.
- If you don't have tarragon on hand, try using another fresh herb like basil or thyme.
- Serve the halibut immediately after cooking to maintain its delicate flavor and texture.
Conclusion:
This halibut recipe combines the delicate flavor of the fish with a crispy bread crumb topping and a flavorful roasted tomato and garlic coulis. It is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. With careful attention to detail and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your guests will love.
