Steps:
- Cut 1 lemon in half, and squeeze into a bowl of cold water; add the rinds to the water. Squeeze 1/2 cup juice from 2 lemons; set juice and rinds aside. Cut the remaining lemon lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and set aside.
- Prepare the artichoke hearts: Working with 1 artichoke at a time, snap off tough outer leaves until half-green-half-yellow leaves are exposed. Using a chef's knife, cut off dark-green top until just pale part remains. Using a paring knife, peel dark-green layer from base and stem; trim stem. Scrape out purple leaves and fuzzy choke using a spoon, and discard. Halve artichoke lengthwise. Rub artichoke with reserved lemon rinds as you work. Cut artichoke heart into 1/4-inch-thick slices, and transfer to lemon water.
- Put onion, fennel, coriander seeds, reserved lemon juice and slices, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 cup water, and the olive oil into a large saute pan or deep pot. Drain artichokes, and add to pan; stir. Place a piece of parchment directly on mixture; cover pan with foil or lid. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until artichokes are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and uncover. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Season both sides of fish with salt. Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet over high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add 2 fillets. Reduce heat to medium-high, and cook fillets, without moving them, until bottoms are golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip; cook until fish is opaque and flakes easily, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer each to a plate; tent with foil. Repeat with remaining tablespoon canola oil and 2 fillets. Spoon 1/2 cup artichoke mixture over each fillet. Garnish with basil.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a skillet just wide enough to hold the fish. When hot add the vegetables and saute for a minute or so just to get them sizzling. Add the wine, cover and cook over very low heat until wilted, about 10 minutes.
- Set halibut over the vegetables, season with salt and pepper and add stock or broth just to cover. Simmer, covered, over low heat, until fish is just done, about 10 minutes.
- With a slotted spatula, remove haibut from the liquid and divide into two portions. Set each portion in the bottom of a deep soup plate and garnish with carrot threads or snow peas; season the broth and spoon it over the top; garnish with black sesame seeds if you wish.

Steps:
- For the caponata: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and artichoke hearts and cook until soft and the artichokes are lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, and raisins to the pan. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 25 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, sugar, and capers and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- For the halibut: Place a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. (If not using a nonstick grill pan, lightly oil the pan before grilling the fish. The halibut can also be roasted for 10 to 12 minutes in a pre-heated 400 degrees F oven.)
- Drizzle the halibut on both sides with olive oil. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- Arrange the halibut on a serving platter and top with the caponata. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

Steps:
- Season the halibut with salt and pepper. Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat. Add the fish; cook for 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the oil, tomatoes, capers, and lemon juice; cook for 1 minute, stirring. Arrange the spinach on 2 serving plates; top with the fish. Spoon the sauce over the halibut and garnish with the parsley. Serve with the bread.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Look for halibut that is firm to the touch and has a mild, slightly sweet smell. Artichokes should be compact and have tightly closed leaves. Lemons should be bright yellow and free of blemishes.
- Prepare the artichokes properly: Artichokes can be a bit tricky to prepare, but with a little care, you can easily remove the choke and leaves. To do this, cut off the stem and about 1 inch of the top of the artichoke. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the choke, which is the fuzzy center of the artichoke. Finally, peel back the leaves one by one, removing any that are tough or discolored.
- Cook the fish gently: Halibut is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it gently to avoid overcooking. The best way to do this is to pan-fry or bake the fish. If you're pan-frying, use a nonstick skillet and cook the fish over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it's cooked through. If you're baking, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the fish for 15-20 minutes, or until it's cooked through.
- Make sure the braising liquid is flavorful: The braising liquid is what will give the artichokes and lemons their flavor, so it's important to make sure it's flavorful. Use a combination of chicken broth, white wine, and lemon juice, and season it with salt, pepper, and herbs.
Conclusion:
Halibut with Braised Sliced Artichokes and Lemons is a delicious and elegant dish that's perfect for a special occasion. The halibut is cooked to perfection, the artichokes are tender and flavorful, and the lemons add a bright, citrusy flavor. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
