Halibut Squash Tomato And Olives In Parchment 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 WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, CAPERS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Mix lemon and mustard blend in oil 'til emulsified (I love my immersion blender!). Stir in tomatoes, olives, capers, salt & pepper.
• Put the fish in a baking dish just large enough to hold them in one layer and pour the tomato mixture over it.
• Cook the fish in middle of oven until just cooked through--depending on the thickness of your fish, it can vary from 10-20 minutes.
• Stir in parsley, and serve fish with the sauce. Freshly ground black pepper is great, but the capers and olives usually have enough salt to carry the dish.
• Excellent on angel hair pasta!

ROASTED HALIBUT OVER BRAISED POTATOES, TOMATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then line the bottom with the potato rounds. Season with salt and pepper, add enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Once the potatoes are softened, drain off the excess water so there is only a small amount left on the bottom. Scatter the lemons, shallots, tomatoes, wine, olives, capers and thyme over the potatoes. Dot with the butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and put on top of the potatoes.
• Make a parchment lid for the skillet by cutting a piece of parchment paper that's larger than your skillet. Fold it in half, then fold it in half again in the other direction so you have creases on 2 sides of the paper. Starting with the folded tip, fold on the diagonal 3 times, like a fan, to form narrow triangles. Measure how large your parchment lid should be by placing the tip of the triangle above the center of the skillet and cutting it where it hits the edge of the skillet. Cut off the folded tip to make a small hole in the center. Open up the parchment and set aside.
• Open the parchment lid and place it over the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft and the halibut is fully cooked and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the parchment lid. Serve, drizzled with some of the sauce from the skillet and some oil, then sprinkle with the parsley.
