HALIBUT WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, CAPERS AND OLIVES
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!

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!

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.

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.

Steps:
- Coat halibut filet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in a 350ºF oven for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135ºF. For the Tomatoes: In a 12-inch skillet over medium-low flame, heat the olive oil and add garlic. Cook for 1 minute; do not let the garlic brown. Add tomatoes with any remaining puree, olives, capers and red pepper. Bring sauce to a brisk simmer and cook about 8 minutes stirring frequently. Spoon sauce over fish and garnish with basil.
Tips:
- Select a Fresh Halibut: Choose a halibut fillet that is firm to the touch, with a mild, briny aroma. Avoid any fish that appears slimy or has a strong odor.
- Season the Halibut Generously: Before cooking, season the halibut fillets liberally with salt and pepper. This will help enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Use High-Quality Tomatoes: Opt for ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the sauce. Roma tomatoes are a popular choice due to their low moisture content and concentrated flavor.
- Don't Overcook the Halibut: Halibut is a delicate fish that can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook it just until it flakes easily with a fork, usually around 4-5 minutes per side.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, or thyme. This will add a pop of color and enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
