Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil, for liberal drizzling plus 1/4 cup
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (1-inch) thick slices crusty bread
1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 to 3 cloves garlic, grated
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons capers, run your knife through them
1/2 cup pitted black olives, chopped
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved or cherry tomatoes, quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high to high heat.
  • Coat the fish in extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook fish for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until firm, cooked through and evenly marked. Char bread on the grill 1 minute on each side.
  • While fish cooks, in the bottom of a medium bowl, combine anchovy paste, grated garlic, red pepper flakes, zest and lemon juice and whisk in 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add capers, olives, parsley and tomatoes. Toss and season with black pepper, to taste.
  • Serve bread topped with lots of salsa and fish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste. If you don't like olives, you can leave them out. If you like more heat, you can add more red pepper flakes.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked through but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Halibut is a delicate fish that can easily become dry if it's overcooked.
  • Serve the dish immediately. This is when it will be at its best.

Conclusion:

Halibut puttanesca is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover fish. With its combination of briny olives, tangy tomatoes, and spicy red pepper flakes, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
