HALIBUT WITH OLIVE TARRAGON BREAD CRUMBS ON ROASTED TOMATO AND GARLIC COULIS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a small bowl, combine bread crumb ingredients. Bread crumbs may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise and mustard. Arrange fish in a lightly oiled shallow baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly on top of fillets and pat bread crumbs evenly on top. Roast fillets in middle of oven until just cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Serve fillets on top of coulis.
• Lightly brush a shallow baking pan with additional oil and in it arrange tomatoes in one layer. Brush tomatoes with remaining tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap garlic tightly in foil and roast tomatoes and garlic in pan in middle of oven about 20 minutes, or until tomatoes are lightly browned and garlic is tender when pierced with a knife. Peel garlic and in a blender purée with tomatoes and vinegar until smooth, adding some water if coulis is too thick. Season coulis with salt and pepper. Coulis may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• In a saucepan, heat coulis over low heat, thinning with more water if too thick, and season with salt and pepper. Keep coulis warm.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH LEMON-HERB CRUST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
• Add melted butter and toss with a fork to form a crumbly mixture.
• In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, green onion and tomato. (The recipe says to add 1 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon but I never have it so I omit it).
• Arrange fish, skin side down, on a platter. Spread each fillet with mayonnaise mixture. Press crumbs mixture onto each fillet.
• Preheat barbecue on high for 10 minutes. Reduce to medium-high and barbecue fish skin side down until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is nicely brown - about 10-12 minutes.
• Drizzle lemon juice over fillets and serve immediately.
