Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces fresh tagliarini or dried tagliarini
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped, or 1 tablespoon chopped green garlic when available
1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
6 anchovy fillets
2 halibut steaks or fillets (approximately 3/4 pound), skin on
1/2 cup dry Italian white wine
coarse or sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
a few drops of fresh lemon juice, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliarini and cook until about half-done, about 1 minute for fresh and 4 minutes for dried. (They will finish cooking in the braising liquid.) Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and set aside.
  • Warm the olive oil in a flameproof gratin dish or heavy oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the parsley and anchovies, pressing the anchovies with the tines of a fork. Continue to sauté until the parsley sizzles and the anchovies melt into the oil, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the fish and sauté it briefly on both sides until the edges of the fish are opaque, about 1 minute on each side. Add the wine, increase the heat to high, and boil rapidly until it is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved pasta water and the noodles, distributing them around and under the fish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place in the oven and bake until the fish is cooked through and the pasta has begun to absorb the liquid, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve at once, directly from the dish. Sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice, if desired.
