Grilled Halibut With Heirloom Tomatoes Food

GRILLED HALIBUT STEAKS ON A BED OF ARUGULA WITH TOMATO SALAD AND GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Make the tomato salad: In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients and set aside.
• Make the gremolata: Place all the ingredients in a bowl and mix. Set aside.
• Make the halibut: Place the olive oil and lemon juice in a large baking dish (or you can use a re-sealable baggie). Rinse the fish and pat it dry, season with the salt and pepper. Place the fish in the dish or re-sealable baggie, turning once to coat with the marinade. Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
• Scatter the clean arugula on a 19-inch round or oval platter. Grill the fish over a medium hot fire for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until the flesh is opaque through to the center. When finished grilling, remove the hot fish immediately to the platter of arugula. Top with the tomato mixture, and sprinkle the gremolata over the top of the tomatoes. Serve immediately.

PAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH ROASTED HEIRLOOM TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the grapeseed oil. Season the fish with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Sear the fish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add the thyme and juice of 1/2 a lemon and baste the fish with the sauce. Remove the halibut from the pan to a serving platter. Add the olive oil to the pan and stir in the tomatoes, the garlic and the juice of 1/2 a lemon. Cook for 2 minutes and then add the parsley. Stir to combine and serve on top of the fish.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH HEIRLOOM TOMATOES

• Combine all ingredients except halibut and allow to sit together on the counter for 8-12 hours.
• Rinse and dry halibut. Cut into 4 equal portions. Lightly rub with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• On a hot grill cook for 3-4mins per inch of thickness on each side.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH CHARRED TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a large platter and set aside. Pat the skin of the halibut dry with a paper towel and then brush the fillets all over with olive oil. Season the flesh generously with salt and pepper.
• Oil the grill grates and put the cherry tomatoes and fish skin-side down on the grill. Cover and let cook until the tomatoes are charred and starting to split, about 5 minutes, depending on the ripeness of the tomatoes and the heat from your grill. Cook the halibut until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the fish skin-side down to the platter with the sliced tomatoes.
• Put the cherry tomatoes in a blender, discarding the vine, and add the olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Blend until smooth, then stir in half the chives and basil. Spoon the tomato vinaigrette over the fish and tomatoes. Drizzle everything with some more olive oil and sprinkle with the remaining chives and basil. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.

GRILLED HALIBUT FILLETS WITH TOMATO AND DILL

Steps:

• Preheat the boiler.
• Brush the fish with 1 tablespoons of the oil, season with salt and pepper and place under the broiler for 5 minutes per side or until the fish flakes readily with a fork.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce by heating the remaining 1 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan.
• Add green onions and cook until translucent but not browned.
• Add dill and tomato halves.
• Cook until tomatoes are just soft and releasing a little juice.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve spooned over the fish.

GRILLED HALIBUT AND TOMATO PACKETS

Steps:

• Cut six 12-inch squares of foil. Place each fish fillet in center of 1 square. Drizzle each fillet with 2 teaspoons oil; turn fish to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread each with 2 teaspoons tapenade. Top each with 4 tomato wedges, 1/3 cup fennel, 1 teaspoon tarragon, 1 teaspoon lemon peel, and 2 teaspoons vermouth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold up foil and seal edges to enclose completely.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place packets on grill rack; cover barbecue with lid. Cook until fish is just opaque in center, about 8 minutes. Divide packets among plates and serve.

ROASTED HALIBUT OVER BRAISED POTATOES, TOMATOES AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Add the oil to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then line the bottom with the potato rounds. Season with salt and pepper, add enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Once the potatoes are softened, drain off the excess water so there is only a small amount left on the bottom. Scatter the lemons, shallots, tomatoes, wine, olives, capers and thyme over the potatoes. Dot with the butter. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and put on top of the potatoes.
• Make a parchment lid for the skillet by cutting a piece of parchment paper that's larger than your skillet. Fold it in half, then fold it in half again in the other direction so you have creases on 2 sides of the paper. Starting with the folded tip, fold on the diagonal 3 times, like a fan, to form narrow triangles. Measure how large your parchment lid should be by placing the tip of the triangle above the center of the skillet and cutting it where it hits the edge of the skillet. Cut off the folded tip to make a small hole in the center. Open up the parchment and set aside.
• Open the parchment lid and place it over the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the potatoes are soft and the halibut is fully cooked and no longer translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the parchment lid. Serve, drizzled with some of the sauce from the skillet and some oil, then sprinkle with the parsley.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH TOMATOES AND HEARTS OF PALM

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grates. Finely grate 1 tsp. lemon zest directly onto halibut and lightly drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill halibut, turning once, until browned on both sides and just opaque in the center, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine tomatoes, hearts of palm, and 1/4 cup oil in a medium bowl; squeeze in 2 Tbsp. juice from lemon and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss basil into tomato salad. Serve halibut with tomatoes and dressing spooned over.
