Tomato Basil Topped Halibut Recipes

Steps:

• Place tomatoes on a baking sheet; drizzle with oil. Wrap garlic in aluminum foil and place on the baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes or until edges of tomatoes are lightly browned and garlic pierces easily with a fork. Place tomatoes and garlic in a food processor or blender; cover and process until smooth. Add vinegar, basil and water to achieve desired thickness; set aside., Place halibut in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Combine mayonnaise and mustard; spread over fish. Combine bread crumbs, basil and olives; sprinkle over mayonnaise mixture and press down gently. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20 minutes or until topping is golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Spoon tomato sauce onto four dinner plates; top with fish.

Steps:

• In a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat, toast the pepitas lightly. Don't allow them to brown. As soon as you begin to smell them, remove the pan from the heat and transfer to a large plate. Set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the halibut on both sides with 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet with an ovenproof handle over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer but is not smoking. Place the fillets skin side up in the hot oil and sear until the fish begins to turn color, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the fillets and add the lemon juice, wine, and butter to the pan. As soon as the butter melts and becomes foamy, add the capers and tomatoes and simmer until the tomatoes release some juices, about 1 minute.
• Place the pan in the oven until the fish is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. Baste the fish with some of the juices and transfer to serving plates. Add the cup torn basil, pepitas, and the remaining teaspoon of salt to the pan juices and stir until the basil is slightly wilted. Spoon the mixture over the fish, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, three to five minutes, and add the garlic and the capers. Cook, stirring, for three to five minutes, until the onion has softened thoroughly and the mixture is fragrant. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Stir in the thyme, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve hot or cold.
• Make the sauce as directed and keep warm.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough for the fish to lie flat. Season the fish with salt and pepper, and arrange in the baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets, and place a round of lemon on each one. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and place in the oven. Bake 15 minutes. Check the fish; if you can cut into it with a fork, it is done. If it doesn't yield, (halibut fillets tend to be thick can take time to cook), cover and return to the oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven, and check again. Remove the lemon slices from the fish.
• Place a spoonful of sauce on each plate, and place a piece of fish partially on top. Spoon some of the liquid from the baking dish over the fish. If you wish, top the fish with another spoonful of sauce, garnish with basil leaves and serve.

Steps:

Steps:

• To prepare the sauce, combine the squash, mushrooms, onion, garlic, lemon zest, salt and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 4 minutes or until nearly tender.
• Drain and return the vegetables to the pan.
• In a large skillet, bring chicken broth to a boil.
• Carefully add the fish, spooning liquid over fish; reduce heat, cover and simmer until fish begins to flake easily (approximately 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2 inch of thickness).
• Remove fish from the broth using a slotted spoon and place on individual serving plates.
• While the fish cooks, combine the tomatoes, cornstarch, basil and pepper sauce.
• Add this to vegetable mixture and cook stirring gently over medium heat till thickened and bubbly.
• Cook and stir an additional 2 minutes; spoon sauce over fish.
• Garnish with fresh basil or lemon slices and enjoy.

Steps:

• Working in batches, puree the broth ingredients, except the egg whites, in a food processor. Transfer to a heavy-bottomed stock pot, over medium heat. Whisk the egg whites until frothy, and add to the pot. Whisk frequently until mixture comes to a boil and has a solid mass on top. There should be liquid and foam bubbling around the edges.
• Lower heat, poke a hole in the solid mass and continue to simmer for 1 hour. Remove from heat and cool at room temperature for 15 minutes. Ladle the broth through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a double layer of damp strong paper towels. Do not press; allow liquid to drip. Strain again, if necessary, to remove all particles. Keep broth warm.
• Pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Dust with flour. Heat oil in a skillet until very hot but not smoking. Cook fish for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until browned and just cooked through.
• Place the fish in large shallow bowls. Pour about 1 cup of the broth over each. Sprinkle with basil and diced tomato and serve.

Steps:

• In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.
• Add the tomatoes and basil, stirring gently to combine. Set aside while you cook the fish.
• Preheat your grill to medium high.
• If your fish has skin on it, season the flesh side with salt and pepper. If it has no skin, place the fish on a folded piece of aluminum foil, large enough to hold the fish in one flat layer, coated with cooking spray. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the fish on the grill, skin/foil side down. Cook until the fish flakes with a fork, or is barely opaque in the middle. It should still look a little wet in the center.
• Remove the flesh from the skin (I just leave the skin on the grill and burn it off) or the foil, and place on a serving platter. Stir the salsa, then drizzle over the fish. Serve immediately.
