SAUTEED HALIBUT WITH WILTED SPINACH AND TOMATO DRESSING
This is a family favorite from Executive Chef Paul Klitsie, Ristorante Fraatelli in Portland, OR. The ingredient list looks long, but it really goes together quickly. The dressing needs to be made ahead as it needs to marinate for 4 hours.

HALIBUT WITH TOMATO AND SPINACH
Steps:
- Put the tomato halves in a food processor and process to make a smooth purée. Set aside.
- Season the halibut chunks with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread the flour on a plate, and lightly dredge the halibut, tapping off the excess.
- Pour 1/4 cup of the olive oil into a large skillet, and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the fish and brown on all sides, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes in all. Remove the fish to a plate and keep warm.

Season with the peperoncino. Bring to a rapid simmer, and cook until very thick, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Season the sauce with the remaining teaspoon of salt, and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Increase heat to high, add the spinach, and cook until spinach is just wilted into the sauce, about 3 or 4 minutes. Divide the spinach and sauce among plates, and serve the halibut on top.

- Serve the halibut immediately after cooking, garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil.
