ROASTED HALIBUT WITH LEMONS, OLIVES AND ROSEMARY

Roasted Halibut With Lemons, Olives and Rosemary image

Fish can be finicky dinner-party fare, especially for the distracted cook. Step away for a moment to sip your cocktail and your fillets might go from pearly to parched. This dish, though, inspired by one from Southern Italy, elegantly feeds a crowd. The fish, halibut, is seasoned with chile, salt and olive oil, then topped with rosemary, lemon and olives and roasted. It's a lighter main dish that won't leave anyone hungry.

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 (8-ounce) halibut fillets, preferably at least 1-inch thick
1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, more to taste
Kosher salt
Ground chile pepper, preferably Turkish or Aleppo
2 rosemary branches
1 small lemon, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced, pitted calamata or other good-quality black olives

Steps:

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place fish in a baking dish, brush fillets with 1 teaspoon of oil and season with salt and chile pepper. Top each fillet with a rosemary branch and several slices of lemon. Drizzle remaining oil over lemon slices and sprinkle with additional salt. Scatter olives over fish and pan.
Bake until just opaque, about 10 minutes. If lemon slices have not browned or singed (this will depend on how thinly you slice them), place pan under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve drizzled with more olive oil; sprinkle with more salt and chili, if desired.

Tips:

Choose the freshest halibut possible. Look for firm, white flesh with a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
Sear the halibut before baking it. This will create a crispy crust and help to lock in the fish's natural juices.
Use a flavorful marinade or sauce. This will add depth of flavor to the halibut and make it even more delicious.
Don't overcook the halibut. The fish should be cooked through but still flaky and moist. Overcooked halibut is tough and dry.
Serve the halibut with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, potatoes, vegetables, and salad.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian halibut is a delicious and versatile fish that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Whether you're grilling, baking, or frying it, halibut is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful seafood option, give Hawaiian halibut a try.
