Butter-Roasted Halibut with Asparagus and Olives image

Vegetables that are best served crisp-tender are a great accompaniment to a slow-roasted fish because they will come out perfectly cooked at the same time.

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 bunches asparagus, trimmed, halved lengthwise if thick, divided
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 tsp. Aleppo-style pepper
2 1/2 lb. skinless halibut, salmon, or arctic char fillet
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 bunches ramps or scallions, trimmed
3/4 cup Castelvetrano olives, pitted, torn
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp. coarsely chopped tarragon, plus leaves for serving
Boiled small waxy potatoes and lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Thinly slice one-quarter of asparagus into coins and place in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Heat butter and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small saucepan over medium. As soon as butter is melted, add Aleppo-style pepper and remove from heat.
  • Season fish with salt and black pepper on both sides and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Scatter ramps and remaining asparagus around fish; season with salt and black pepper. Pour butter mixture over fish and vegetables. Give vegetables a toss to evenly coat. Roast, undisturbed, until fish is just opaque in the center and asparagus is bright green and tender, 15-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
  • Toss olives, chives, lemon juice, 2 Tbsp. tarragon, and remaining 5 Tbsp. oil with reserved asparagus; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Transfer fish to a platter; top with ramps and asparagus. Spoon some olive mixture over, then scatter tarragon leaves over. Serve with potatoes, lemon wedges, and remaining olive mixture alongside.

The halibut was a bit overcooked, but the asparagus and olives were delicious. I would recommend cooking the halibut for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm not a fan of olives, but I loved this recipe! The halibut was cooked perfectly and the asparagus was tender and flavorful. I would definitely make this again, even without the olives.
