This is great served over rice or couscous. The flavors in the ingredients compliment the halibut beautifully. I have used this with many mild white fishes and found they all are great with these ingredients.

HALIBUT WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, CAPERS AND OLIVES



Halibut With Cherry Tomatoes, Capers and Olives image

When I was first dating my husband, we went to a small restaurant in Moss Landing and I had this dish. The sweet tomatoes, sour lemon and salty olives and capers are wonderful with the halibut. The chef was kind enough to list the ingredients for me. What I didn't remember exact amounts for, I improvised and it's close enough for me to what I had that day! If you can't get good cherry tomatoes, use any tomato chopped small. I've also subbed half the olive oil for stock when I'm feeling dietetic and that's good too. Not AS good, maybe, but good!

Categories     Halibut

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted, chopped
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 lbs halibut steaks (for four pieces) or 2 lbs halibut fillets (for four pieces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Mix lemon and mustard blend in oil 'til emulsified (I love my immersion blender!). Stir in tomatoes, olives, capers, salt & pepper.
  • Put the fish in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in one layer and pour the tomato mixture over it.
  • Cook the fish in middle of oven until just cooked through--depending on the thickness of your fish, it can vary from 10-20 minutes.
  • Stir in parsley, and serve fish with the sauce. Freshly ground black pepper is great, but the capers and olives usually have enough salt to carry the dish.
  • Excellent on angel hair pasta!

Provided by Cat Cora

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
4 6 -ounce halibut fillets
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (quartered if they're big)
1/4 cup torn fresh basil, plus a handful of small leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pepitas lightly. Don't allow them to brown. As soon as you begin to smell them, remove the pan from the heat and transfer to a large plate. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sprinkle the halibut on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet with an ovenproof handle over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer but is not smoking. Place the fillets skin side up in the hot oil and sear until the fish begins to turn color, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the fillets and add the lemon juice, wine, and butter to the pan. As soon as the butter melts and becomes foamy, add the capers and tomatoes and simmer until the tomatoes release some juices, about 1 minute.
  • Place the pan in the oven until the fish is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Baste the fish with some of the juices and transfer to serving plates. Add the cup torn basil, pepitas, and the remaining teaspoon of salt to the pan juices and stir until the basil is slightly wilted. Spoon the mixture over the fish, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve.

BAKED HALIBUT WITH TOMATO CAPER SAUCE



Baked Halibut With Tomato Caper Sauce image

This is a pungent tomato sauce that I learned to make in Provence. It goes well with any type of robust fish.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, sauces and gravies, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
4 plump garlic cloves, minced or mashed in a mortar and pestle
1/4 cup capers, drained, rinsed and finely chopped or mashed with the garlic in a mortar and pestle
2 pounds tomatoes, peeled, seeded and finely chopped, or 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes with juice
Salt, preferably kosher salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
Pinch of sugar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon slivered fresh basil leaves
1 recipe tomato-caper sauce, above
6 6-ounce halibut fillets (Choose Pacific halibut over Atlantic halibut. According to the Environmental Defense Fund and the Blue Ocean Institute, Pacific halibut fisheries have been properly managed, but they are overfished in the Atlantic.)
Salt, preferably kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
6 lemon slices

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, three to five minutes, and add the garlic and the capers. Cook, stirring, for three to five minutes, until the onion has softened thoroughly and the mixture is fragrant. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Stir in the thyme, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or cold.
  • Make the sauce as directed and keep warm.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough for the fish to lie flat. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and arrange in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, and place a round of lemon on each one. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and place in the oven. Bake 15 minutes. Check the fish; if you can cut into it with a fork, it is done. If it doesn't yield, (halibut fillets tend to be thick can take time to cook), cover and return to the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven, and check again. Remove the lemon slices from the fish.
  • Place a spoonful of sauce on each plate, and place a piece of fish partially on top. Spoon some of the liquid from the baking dish over the fish. If you wish, top the fish with another spoonful of sauce, garnish with basil leaves and serve.

HALIBUT STEAMED WITH ORANGES, TOMATOES, AND OLIVES



Halibut Steamed with Oranges, Tomatoes, and Olives image

Categories     Citrus     Fish     Garlic     Olive     Tomato     Sauté     Orange     Halibut     Winter     Healthy     Simmer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large oranges
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups thinly sliced red onions
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice
1 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup sliced pitted Kalamata olives
6 5- to 6-ounce halibut fillets
3 ounces drained feta cheese, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Cut off peel and white pith from oranges. Cut oranges between membranes to release segments.
  • Heat oil in heavy very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; sauté until tender and just beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Add tomatoes and wine. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 3 minutes. Gently stir in orange segments and olives. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Arrange halibut in single layer atop vegetable mixture in skillet. Cover and simmer gently until halibut is just opaque in center, about 12 minutes.
  • Spoon vegetable mixture onto plates. Top with halibut. Place feta cheese atop vegetable mixture and alongside halibut. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure the halibut cooks evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets so that they are all the same thickness.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the halibut. If the pan is too crowded, the fish will not cook evenly and may steam instead of fry.
  • Be careful not to overcook the halibut. Halibut is a delicate fish and it cooks quickly. Overcooked halibut will be dry and tough.
  • To add extra flavor to the halibut, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices before cooking.
  • Halibut is a versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. In addition to frying, you can also bake, grill, or poach halibut.

Conclusion:

Halibut with capers, olives, and tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The halibut is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with capers, olives, tomatoes, and white wine. The fish is then served over rice or pasta.
