Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Two 6-ounce skinned and deboned halibut filets
Kosher salt
1/3 medium white onion, finely diced
5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 anchovy filets, crushed into a paste
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives
1 tablespoon capers
1 cup crushed San Marzano tomatoes
1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Sprinkle the halibut with some salt. Sear the halibut on both sides until lightly golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the halibut to the prepared baking sheet lined and bake in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Return the skillet to medium-low heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook the onions and garlic until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the anchovy paste, olives and capers to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the crushed tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes and bring to a low simmer for 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until the wine cooks off slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
  • To serve, spoon the sauce directly onto the plate and top with the halibut filets. Top with the basil and lemon zest.

Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. The halibut was cooked well, and the sauce was flavorful. However, I think it could have used a bit more spice.

I'm not a fan of capers, so I used sun-dried tomatoes instead. It was still really good.

This dish is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less olives next time.

I'm not a big fan of olives, so I omitted them from the sauce. It was still delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my halibut turned out a bit dry. Not sure what went wrong.
