Ingredients

  • 4 cups extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 6-ounce halibut fillets, skinned and boned
  • 1 whole head of garlic cut in half
  • 6 thyme sprigs
  • 1 rosemary sprig

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275°F. Generously salt fish and leave at room temperate for 15 minutes.
  • Place the olive oil into a large ovenproof dish. Submerge the fish so it is covered 3/4 of the way. Add the garlic and herbs. Cover the fish directly with a piece of parchment paper. Place in preheated oven.
  • Poach the fish until firm and opaque (about 15 minutes). Gently remove the fish and discard the garlic and herbs. Strain the oil and enjoy a moist and flavorful fish.
