Baked Halibut With Zucchini Olives Tomatoes And Oranges Recipes

BAKED HALIBUT WITH ZUCCHINI, OLIVES, TOMATOES AND ORANGES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Cut 2 (16-inch) squares cooking parchment paper or foil.
• Season both sides of fish with cinnamon, salt and pepper; place 1 piece each onto middle of parchment paper. For each piece, top with half the zucchini, olives and tomatoes; season with a pinch more salt and pepper. Pour 1 tablespoon stock over each, then top with half the orange slices and thyme.
• To make packets, roll and crimp opposite sides of parchment paper together over fish and vegetables, then roll and crimp ends to prevent steam from escaping. Place packets on cookie sheet.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Transfer packets to plates for serving.

HALIBUT PROVENçAL WITH TOMATOES AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush a shallow, ovenproof casserole with olive oil.
• To make the sauce, heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and chopped thyme and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the zucchini and tomatoes and sauté until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the olives and vinegar. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To cook the fish, place the halibut in the prepared casserole and turn in the oil to lightly coat; season with salt and pepper. Spoon the vegetable mixture over the fillets. Bake until just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes. Garnish with additional sprigs of thyme.

Steps:

• Season the fish fillet with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Place the fish in the pan, gently pressing on the flesh.

• In a medium saute pan, heat the butter on medium heat. When hot, add the olives, capers, tomato and garlic and cook until warm. Add the dry white wine and fish stock or clam juice. Cook another 2 minutes. Place olive mixture on top of the fish and garnish with basil.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH BAKED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wipe the halibut steaks dry and brush with lemon juice and one-fourth cup olive oil. Set aside.
• Cut the tomatoes in half. If they have a great deal of seeds, remove some. Place tomatoes cut-side up in a flameproof baking dish, tightly packed because they will shrink in cooking. Sprinkle them with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper and add enough olive oil to come about one-fourth inch up the sides. Cook on top of the stove for 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender, then transfer them to the oven and bake for about one hour or until they have shrunk to about half their original size.
• Meanwhile, preheat broiler or charcoal grill. Season the halibut steaks with salt and pepper and broil for six to seven minutes on each side, turning once. Place on a serving dish. Remove tomatoes from baking dish with a slotted spoon, leaving most of the oil behind, and arrange them on the serving dish around the halibut.
