Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For fish
2 tablespoons golden raisins
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar, or 1/2 cup cider vinegar mixed with 2 tablespoons sugar
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced crosswise
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (1-pound) piece halibut fillet with skin (about 1 1/2 inches thick) or 2 (8-ounce) red snapper fillets with skin
2 tablespoons potato starch
For salad
1 large fennel bulb (sometimes called anise) with fronds
2 1/2 ounce radish sprouts or watercress sprigs, trimmed (2 cups)
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar, or 2 tablespoons cider vinegar mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare fish:
  • Simmer raisins in vinegar in a small saucepan until raisins are plump, 3 to 5 minutes, then cool.
  • Cook onion in 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer half of onion to a 9-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish with a slotted spoon, spreading evenly. Reserve remaining onion.
  • Cut fish into 6 equal pieces. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Spread potato starch on a plate and dredge fish in it, shaking off excess.
  • Heat remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté fish, skin sides down, until lightly browned, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. Turn fish over and sauté until lightly browned and just cooked through, 1 1/2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Arrange fish on top of onion in baking dish, then top with reserved onion and drizzle with raisins and vinegar. Cool completely, then marinate, covered and chilled, at least 8 hours. Bring to room temperature.
  • Make salad:
  • Tear enough fennel fronds to measure 1 tablespoon. Trim stalks flush with bulb and discard stalks. Quarter bulb lengthwise, then cut lengthwise into paper-thin slices with a mandoline or other manual slicer. Transfer slices to a bowl and toss with radish sprouts.
  • Whisk together vinegar and oil, then whisk in sugar and salt and pepper to taste. Toss vegetables with half of dressing and divide among 6 plates.
  • Remove onion from top of fish, reserving it, and put a piece of fish on top of each salad. Mound all of onion and raisins on top of fish, then drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with fennel fronds.

I'm not a fan of fennel, but I really enjoyed it in this salad. It added a nice anise flavor that really complemented the halibut.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover halibut. I had some leftover from a previous meal, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I didn't have any radish sprouts, so I used arugula instead. It was still delicious.

I used a different type of fish for this recipe, and it turned out just as well. I think any type of white fish would work well with this marinade and salad.
