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.

PAN-SEARED HALIBUT WITH OLIVE OIL POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender when pierced with a knife. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 clove sliced garlic. Sauté over low heat until lightly golden, then add anchovy and 1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves. Transfer to a small food processor and add olives, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon cold water. Purée until smooth and season to taste with white pepper; set aside.
• When potatoes are tender, drain and put through a food mill or mash them. Return to pot and place over low heat. Stir with a wooden spoon until potatoes start to stick to pot, then slowly add milk, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 pound butter. Stir until very smooth, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• In a medium saucepan, combine remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil with 3 cloves sliced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until garlic is aromatic. Add shallot and sauté until translucent. Stir in peppers, 1 teaspoon salt and sugar. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and saffron; simmer, partially covered, until peppers are tender, about 8 minutes. Purée in a food processor, blender or with an immersion blender, and pass through a fine sieve. Transfer to a small pan and season with cayenne and salt to taste. Add 2 tablespoons butter and whisk or blend until frothy. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper to taste. Place a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add grapeseed oil. When oil is hot, add fillets presentation-side down. Cook for 1 minute on stove top, then place in oven for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and return to stove top on medium heat. Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter to pan. When it starts to foam, add remaining 2 cloves garlic and sprigs of thyme. Baste fish with butter for 1 minute. Remove fillets from pan when undersides are golden brown.
• To serve, place a large spoonful of potatoes in middle of four wide-rimmed plates or shallow soup bowls. Top with a halibut fillet, seared-side up. Place a spoonful of olive mixture on each fillet. Bring bell pepper emulsion to a boil and whisk until foamy, then pour around potatoes.
