This is great served over rice or couscous. The flavors in the ingredients compliment the halibut beautifully. I have used this with many mild white fishes and found they all are great with these ingredients.

HALIBUT WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, CAPERS AND OLIVES



Halibut With Cherry Tomatoes, Capers and Olives image

When I was first dating my husband, we went to a small restaurant in Moss Landing and I had this dish. The sweet tomatoes, sour lemon and salty olives and capers are wonderful with the halibut. The chef was kind enough to list the ingredients for me. What I didn't remember exact amounts for, I improvised and it's close enough for me to what I had that day! If you can't get good cherry tomatoes, use any tomato chopped small. I've also subbed half the olive oil for stock when I'm feeling dietetic and that's good too. Not AS good, maybe, but good!

Categories     Halibut

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 lbs halibut steaks (for four pieces) or 2 lbs halibut fillets (for four pieces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Mix lemon and mustard blend in oil 'til emulsified (I love my immersion blender!). Stir in tomatoes, olives, capers, salt & pepper.
  • Put the fish in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in one layer and pour the tomato mixture over it.
  • Cook the fish in middle of oven until just cooked through--depending on the thickness of your fish, it can vary from 10-20 minutes.
  • Stir in parsley, and serve fish with the sauce. Freshly ground black pepper is great, but the capers and olives usually have enough salt to carry the dish.
  • Excellent on angel hair pasta!

Categories     main-dish

Time 52m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt, plus extra for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
1 celery stalk, chopped
8 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juices
10 pitted kalamata olives, halved
3 tablespoons raisins
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
4 (4 to 5-ounce) center-cut halibut fillets, about 1-inch thick
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the caponata: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and artichoke hearts and cook until soft and the artichokes are lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, and raisins to the pan. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 25 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, sugar, and capers and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • For the halibut: Place a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. (If not using a nonstick grill pan, lightly oil the pan before grilling the fish. The halibut can also be roasted for 10 to 12 minutes in a pre-heated 400 degrees F oven.)
  • Drizzle the halibut on both sides with olive oil. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  • Arrange the halibut on a serving platter and top with the caponata. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality halibut: Look for halibut fillets that are firm and have a mild, briny scent. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy smell.
  • Sear the halibut until golden brown: This will help to create a flavorful crust and prevent the fish from drying out.
  • Use a variety of flavorful ingredients: The tomato, caper, and olive sauce in this recipe is a great way to add flavor to the halibut. You can also experiment with other ingredients, such as lemon, herbs, or spices.
  • Don't overcook the halibut: Halibut is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook the fish just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the halibut immediately: Halibut is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the fish is moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This halibut recipe is a delicious and easy way to prepare this versatile fish. The tomato, caper, and olive sauce adds a burst of flavor to the halibut, and the fish cooks quickly and easily. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
