Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 cups diced tomato
1 medium jalapeno, diced
1 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons butter
4 (8-ounce) halibut fillets
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup Spanish olives, cut into thin rounds, plus 2 tablespoons olive juice from bottle
2 medium avocados, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until lightly colored, about 3 minutes. Add tomato, jalapeno and white wine. Cook until wine is reduced by 2/3, about 5 to 7 minutes. While sauce is reducing, heat butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Season fish with kosher salt. When butter is melted, add halibut to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, flip over and then transfer pan to preheated oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove sauce from heat when reduced and stir in olives and olive juice.
  • To serve, divide sauce equally among 4 dinner plates. Place halibut (first caramelized side up) in the center of each plate on top of the sauce. Place avocado slices on top of fish, sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro, as garnish.

HALIBUT VERACRUZ



Halibut Veracruz image

Rick Bayless of Frontera Grill in Chicago distills Mexican seafood into three basic preparations: lime-cured (seviche), fried with garlic (al mojo de ajo), and served with chunky tomato sauce (a la Veracruzana). Named for the city of Veracruz, pescado a la Veracruzana is widely served throughout Mexico. This simple, light version skips the usual bay leaf and heavy stewing, allowing the delicate halibut to shine.Seafood makes a great base for a delicious Mexican feast. Just add the heat, the spice is right! Text and recipes by Kathryn Jessup From the November 2008 Issue of Coastal Living. Adapted from Dona Tomas (Ten Speed, 2006).
