Basil Rubbed Halibut With Puttanesca Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Drain tomatoes, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Seed and coarsely chop tomatoes. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic, and cook until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, and cook, until transparent, about 5 minutes. Raise heat to medium high; add tomatoes, reserved liquid, olives, capers, anchovies, and rosemary, and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
• Heat remaining oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of halibut steaks with salt and pepper. Cook steaks until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
• Reheat sauce until it simmers. Stir in parsley. Serve halibut with a little sauce on each steak.

Steps:

• Add tomato sauce to a saucepan. Add garlic, olives, capers, wine and anchovy paste and bring mixture to a simmer for 5 minutes over medium heat. Meanwhile, season halibut on both sides with salt and black pepper. Add halibut fillets to sauce, cover and simmer 3 to 5 minutes, until fish is fork tender.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Sprinkle the halibut with some salt. Sear the halibut on both sides until lightly golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the halibut to the prepared baking sheet lined and bake in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Return the skillet to medium-low heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook the onions and garlic until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Add the anchovy paste, olives and capers to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the crushed tomatoes and crushed red pepper flakes and bring to a low simmer for 5 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until the wine cooks off slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt.
• To serve, spoon the sauce directly onto the plate and top with the halibut filets. Top with the basil and lemon zest.

Steps:

• Liberally salt and pepper the halibut. Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized, non-stick pan. When oil is shimmering, place the halibut, skin-side down, in pan. Cook on both sides for 2 minutes or to desirable color. Place halibut aside. In a medium-sized saute pan over medium heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once it is hot, add the shallots, red pepper flakes, and parsley, and saute for 2 minutes. Then add 3 of the 4 garlic cloves, and cook another minute. Deglaze pan with 1/2 cup of the white wine and add tomatoes, capers, olives, and halibut. Cook on low heat until most of the liquid is evaporated and fish is firm to the touch.
• To plate: Place escarole in center of plate; put halibut on top of escarole, then surround fish and escarole with Gnocchi. Finish with sauce as needed.
• Place olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a small saute pan over medium heat. When the garlic starts to brown add roughly chopped escarole until wilted add a dash of salt and pepper and finish with white wine.
• On a clean cooking surface (cutting board) place the flour spreading it out to make a well about 6 inches in diameter. In the middle of the well place the eggs, cheeses, salt, and pepper. Stir mixture, then slowly incorporate flour to wet mixture until the mixture becomes cohesive. Continue kneading until dough is dry to touch (add more flour, if needed.) Cut small pieces of dough, roll out to make 6-inch rolls, 1-inch in diameter, then using a large chefs knife cut into 1-inch long pieces. When finished, add to a pot of boiling water, gnocchi are done when they float to the top. Drain.
