I never buy Halibut due to the high price, but when I saw it on sale last week, even though it was still high I bought it and my only regret now is that I want to buy more and it is not on sale anymore. It is such a good fish and this sauce is so good, I am saving the rest to serve on Pasta. This recipe is adapted from Giada DeLaurentis.
Halibut in Artichoke and Tomato Sauce
Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large shallot chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can artichokes hearts or bottoms
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 cup water
- 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 6-ounce halibut fillets
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic and artichokes and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the white wine and stir, scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the water, tomatoes with juice and capers. Bring to a simmer, adjust seasoning to taste.
- Sauce can sit and simmer until you are ready. Just before serving, prepare the fish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the halibut and season with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Cook the fish on the grill pan until just cooked through, about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
- Spoon sauce onto plate and top with halibut. I served this with grilled polenta.
i never buy halibut either, but now i want to wait for a sale!
