MARIO BATALI'S OVEN-POACHED HALIBUT IN OLIVE OIL
I finally took the plunge and tried this odd recipe. It was the most delicious fish I've ever tasted, moist and silky texture. It is NOT oily tasting at all, and you can even eat the lemon slices. Yum! Next I'll try it with salmon. Poaching fish in oil may seem like an unusual cooking method, but it's actually a little like confit, the traditional preparation in which meat is cooked in its own fat. The idea comes from a guest television talk show appearance by Mario Batali, the chef of New York City's Babbo, and the technique he demonstrated is adapted here for home use. The fish fillets stay extremely moist, but without any taste of oil, and the layers of lemon slices, which lose their tartness when heated with the oil and salt, infuse the dish with wonderful citrus notes. Another bonus: the oil doesn't pick up any fish flavor (believe it or not) - it tastes lemony and slightly salty - and only a small amount is served with the dish, so the rest can be used again in a vinaigrette, or added to mashed potatoes, or saved for cooking. This recipe takes only about 15 minutes to prepare for cooking - but then the slow poaching method adds an hour or more to the total time from start to finish.

Steps:
- Put a rack in the middle of the oven, and preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Pat the fish fillets dry, then sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Allow the seasoned fish to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Chop half of the capers.
- Arrange half of the lemon slices in one layer in an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Arrange the fish fillets in one layer over the lemon slices. Top with all of the capers, the remaining lemon slices, and the 3 tablespoons of parsley, then pour the oil over the composed fish.
- Bake, covered, until the fish just flakes and is cooked throughout - 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve the fish with some of the lemon slices, capers, and oil spooned over. Sprinkle with parsley leaves.
- COOK'S NOTE:
- To reuse the leftover olive oil, strain it through a paper towel-lined sieve and allow it to cool to room temperature. It will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 week.
- Recipe adapted from: the website of The Jane Pauley Show (on which the technique was demonstrated).

- Fillet the halibut or possibly turbot on a cutting board using a large sharp French knife and remove all the fins. Split the fish in half from the tail end first, working towards the head. Once at the gills, cut tight to the gills to cleanly remove one side of the halibut. Cut two centre pcs of the halibut approximately 10 ounces each in weight. Then, using a small knife, remove the bone from the centre of the darne. Place in a deep dish, that has been lightly buttered and chill.
- To make the salmon mousse, take the well-chilled salmon and dice it, then puree in a food processor. Add in the egg white, a splash of vermouth and a little cream at a time till the right consistency has been reached. The mousse should form soft peaks. Season with salt, pepper and place the mix into a piping bag with a plain tip.
- Take the darne out of the fridge and pipe the salmon mousse into the centre cavity, that has been created by removing the bones. Fill the cavity to about a 1/2-inch above the top and place the fish back into the deep dish. Heat the fish stock in a saucepan till warm but not boiling. Season it well.
