HALIBUT VERACRUZ

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until lightly colored, about 3 minutes. Add tomato, jalapeno and white wine. Cook until wine is reduced by 2/3, about 5 to 7 minutes. While sauce is reducing, heat butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Season fish with kosher salt. When butter is melted, add halibut to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, flip over and then transfer pan to preheated oven and bake until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove sauce from heat when reduced and stir in olives and olive juice.
• To serve, divide sauce equally among 4 dinner plates. Place halibut (first caramelized side up) in the center of each plate on top of the sauce. Place avocado slices on top of fish, sprinkle with lime juice and cilantro, as garnish.

HALIBUT IN SPANISH GARLIC-SHRIMP SAUCE

Steps:

• Sear halibut on both sides in 1 Tbs olive oil and cook until just about done; around 10 minutes total. Remove from pan and keep warm.
• Add 3 Tbs olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes and bay leaf into skillet; saute just until garlic begins to turn golden and fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in shrimp and cook until pink, about 3 minutes.
• Deglaze pan with sherry and lemon juice, simmer briefly to reduce a bit, then finish with parley.
• Divied shrimp and sauce between fish.
• I served this over a bed of fresh cooked spinach and baked potatoe on the side. YUUUMMMY!

MEDITERRANEAN BAKED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Mix together chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mayo, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).
• Coat a small baking sheet with a splash of olive oil and place the fish on top, skin side down. Sprinkle fish with a tiny bit of kosher salt. Spread the mayonnaise/tomato mixture over the top of the fish.
• Bake at 425 for 15-17 minutes. My fish was about 1 1/2" thick and took 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with fresh chopped basil. Enjoy!

SPANISH HALIBUT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice, saffron, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer 20 minutes. While sauce is cooking, brush fish with remaining oil and season well with salt and pepper. Bake until just opaque in the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Add parsley to sauce, season to taste with salt and pepper, and remove from heat. Spoon over fish and serve.
