Steps:

• Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a saucepot. Saute the shallot and garlic until the shallots turn translucent, being careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in rosemary and thyme, add crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes, then partially remove lid (leave it covered just enough to keep the spattering down) and reduce heat to medium-low, let thicken and reduce for another 15 minutes.
• While the sauce is thickening, season the fish with salt and pepper. Arrange fish on a steaming rack and steam over a pan of boiling water until it flakes easily, about 6 to 7 minutes.
• While the fish is steaming, remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the cream. Strain the sauce into a bowl.
• Spoon sauce into the center of serving plate, top with a fish fillet and fresh grape tomatoes. Sprinkle with parsley leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Set aside. Heat oil in heavy medium oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add shallots and fennel. Sauté until shallots are tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes with juices and clam juice. Simmer until fennel is tender and liquid reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in olives.
• Arrange halibut atop tomato mixture. Bake until fish is opaque in center, about 18 minutes. Stir basil into vegetable mixture and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat.

• Turn over the fillets, reduce the heat to low and cook 1 minute.
• Remove the fish to a plate and keep warm.
• Add the garlic and shallots to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes, olives, capers, pepper flakes, vinegar and one-half teaspoon salt and saute 1 minute.
• Increase the heat to medium and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. Add the fish back into the sauce during the final minute of cooking.
• Transfer the fillets to a platter, spoon the sauce over and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and the torn basil and serve immediately.

Steps:

• To make the sauce, heat the 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and chopped thyme and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the zucchini and tomatoes and sauté until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the olives and vinegar. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To cook the fish, place the halibut in the prepared casserole and turn in the oil to lightly coat; season with salt and pepper. Spoon the vegetable mixture over the fillets. Bake until just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes. Garnish with additional sprigs of thyme.
