Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Sprinkle both sides of the halibut with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until slightly browned. Add red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.
- Add wine, clam juice, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, anchovy paste, and Herbs de Provence. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes to reduce the sauce a little then remove from heat and stir in the olives. (If you want the sauce thinner, only simmer it for a minute).
- In a small dish, stir together the bread crumbs, olive oil, herbs, salt, and lemon zest.
- Arrange the halibut fillets over the tomato mixture then sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top.
- Bake for 15 to 30 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets. If the fillets are 1-inch thick, they will take approximately 22 to 25 minutes. If you have an instant-read thermometer, the halibut will be done when the internal temperature reads 130°F.

SEARED HALIBUT WITH PARMIGIANA ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- For halibut: Preheat a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil and butter. Season halibut with salt and pepper and dust with the flour, shaking off the excess. As your butter starts to brown, gently lay each steak in your pan. Allow to cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, approximately 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
- For asparagus: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Trim and clean your asparagus. In a large bowl add cleaned asparagus, minced garlic, minced shallots, and extra-virgin olive oil. Season, to taste. Lay prepared asparagus on a half sheet pan and roast until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Right before taking your roasted asparagus out of the oven liberally top with freshly grated parmesan cheese. The heat of your pan should melt your cheese.
- To serve, place 4 pieces of asparagus on a plate, top with golden brown halibut steak. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Garnish with a sprig of chervil or chives

Steps:
- Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a saucepot. Saute the shallot and garlic until the shallots turn translucent, being careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in rosemary and thyme, add crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes, then partially remove lid (leave it covered just enough to keep the spattering down) and reduce heat to medium-low, let thicken and reduce for another 15 minutes.
- While the sauce is thickening, season the fish with salt and pepper. Arrange fish on a steaming rack and steam over a pan of boiling water until it flakes easily, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- While the fish is steaming, remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the cream. Strain the sauce into a bowl.
- Spoon sauce into the center of serving plate, top with a fish fillet and fresh grape tomatoes. Sprinkle with parsley leaves.
