Halibut With Tomatoes, Capers & Olives

Halibut With Tomatoes, Capers & Olives

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Melt red palm oil in an oven safe skillet over medium-high heat coating the pan well. Using a paper towel, wipe the pan if needed to absorb any excess oil. Place halibut fillets in pan, presentation side down (skin side up), and let it sizzle. Move the fish occasionally to prevent it from sticking. Sear until nicely browned. Flip the fillets so that the skin side is down and place in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over a medium-low flame, heat the olive oil and add garlic. Cook for 1 minute but do not let the garlic brown. Add tomatoes, olives, capers and red pepper. Bring sauce to a brisk simmer and cook about 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Spoon sauce over fish and garnish with basil.
