Steps:

• Simmer garlic, fennel bulbs, tomatoes, fennel seeds, sugar, bay leaf, zest, and 1 teaspoon salt in oil, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender but still intact, 30 to 40 minutes.
• While vegetables simmer, rub fish with 1 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and let stand 10 to 20 minutes.
• Transfer vegetables to a bowl with a slotted spoon, then submerge fish in oil (if necessary, to lift level of oil, return vegetables to pot) and cover surface of oil with parchment paper. Cook fish over medium heat (without simmering) 5 minutes and remove from heat. Let fish cook from residual heat (still covered with parchment) until just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Carefully transfer fish to a platter using 2 metal spatulas. Discard bay leaf. Surround with vegetables. Drizzle with some of oil and sprinkle with chopped fronds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add oil. When oil is hot, cook and stir poblano peppers and onion until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes. Press cancel. Stir in tomatoes, water, olives, garlic, pepper and salt. Top with fillets., Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 3 minutes. Quick-release pressure. A thermometer inserted in fish should read at least 145°., Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges and, if desired, bread.

Steps:

• Celery Sauce -- In a small sauce pan, add the celery and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat, cover, and cook until the celery is tender. The celery will be pureed, so you want it tender, but NOT "mushy." It should take about 10-12 minutes.
• Fish and Broth -- As the celery cooks, prepare your fish and the broth. Remove the fish from the refrigerator so it comes to room temperature. For the broth, In a medium size sauce pan (enough to add the 4 fillets and you want the broth to cover the fish), add the lemons, garlic cloves (give them a light smash with the back of your knife or with the palm of your hand), ginger, wine, broth, thyme sprigs, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil and then immediately turn off the heat and cover. The broth will be ready in just a couple of minutes.
• Celery Sauce: Drain the celery and reserve just a teaspoon or two of the water. Transfer the celery to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth, you can use a little of the water if necessary. Just let it sit for a few minutes as you make the cream sauce.
• In that same pan you cooked the celery in, add the butter and shallots and cook a minute on medium heat. Then add in the flour and cook another minute to get rid of the flour taste. Slowly add in the milk and heavy cream and whisk until well blended and the sauce begins to thicken. Add in the celery, fresh thyme, salt and pepper to taste. The sauce is done. Just reduce to low and set on the back burner.
• Fish -- Bring your broth back up to medium heat, you don't want it boiling, just a medium simmer. Add the fish, reduce to medium low and cover. Halibut will take about 8 minutes per 1" of fish. The cooking time will depend on the size of your fish fillets.
• Tomato Relish -- As the fish cooks, make the tomato relish. Add the chopped tomatoes, capers, basil, olive oil, and pepper to a small bowl and mix until well combined.
• Serve -- This is how I love to serve this dish. A small bed of micro greens or spring greens, then the fish topped with the celery sauce and then the tomato relish. But you can omit the greens if you want. I have also served the sauce on the bottom of the plate with the tomato relish on top and the micro greens on the side. Either way -- ENJOY!

Steps:

• Make the tomato broth the day before. Put the tomatoes and 1/ 2 tbsp flaky salt in a food processor and blitz to a pulp. Pour into a colander lined with a muslin cloth set over a bowl to catch the juices. Fold the cloth over the pulp and put a weight on top to help squeeze out the juices. Put in the fridge overnight to strain. Take the broth out of the fridge 1 hr before serving to bring to room temperature.
• The next day, toss the mixed tomatoes in a roasting tin with 1/ 2 tbsp flaky salt, the oil and garlic, then spread them out and leave for 1 hr.
• Next, put the wine, rosemary, shallot, stock and a good pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, drop in the fish and reduce the heat so the liquid is just bubbling. Gently poach for 8-10 mins, then remove. Freeze the poaching liquor and use as a stock at a later date.
• Spoon the mixed tomatoes with their oil and garlic, the spring onions and broad beans into two serving bowls. Top with the cooked fish, then pour over the tomato broth.

Steps:

• A day in advance, combine olive oil with the paprikas.
• Prepare a brine of 1 cup lemon juice and 1/2 cup salt. Brine steaks for 20 minutes, then rinse in cold water and set aside.
• In a large skillet, spread cilantro, bell peppers, and onions. Arrange tomatoes over all and place garlic around. Place fish on top of tomatoes. Season with tumeric, pepper, salt, and sugar. Barely cover with cold water, cover pan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until fish just becomes opaque, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Uncover pan and spoon in the paprika infused oil, avoiding the actual paprika that will have settled to the bottom of bowl. Simmer 5 minutes, then adjust for salt.
• Plate fish with sauce and stewed vegetables on individual plates, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedge.
