Sauteed Halibut With Wilted Spinach and Tomato Dressing image

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 image

Categories     Sauce     Tomato     Side     Halibut     Spinach     Simmer

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds fresh plum tomatoes, halved and cored (about 4 cups)
2 pounds skinless halibut fillet, cut into 2-inch chunks
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
All-purpose flour, for dredging
1/4 plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, sliced
1/4 teaspoon peperoncino flakes
6 ounces fresh spinach, trimmed (about 12 packed cups leaves)

Steps:

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup clamshell mushrooms, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in heavy skillet over medium-high heat until butter melts and begins to foam. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt; saute in hot butter and oil golden brown, about 5 minutes. Push mushroom to the edges to clear a space in the center of the skillet.
