- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon capers or use diced Kalamata olives
- 14 ounce diced tomatoes or 1 lb fresh tomatoes, cored + diced, canned
- ½ teaspoon thyme ¼ tsp dried thyme, fresh, removed from stems
Halibut:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 8 ounces halibut Or swap cod (or another dense white fish, 2 fillets
- ⅛ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ lemon 4 thin slices
Instructions
Tomato Caper Sauce:
- Add oil to a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook 3-5 minutes, or until the onions are tender.Add garlic and capers. Cook 1-2 more minutes, or until garlic is fragrant.
- Add tomatoes, salt, and thyme. Lower heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce is thickened. (If your tomatoes are especially juicy, they may take a few minutes longer to cook.)Cover sauce to keep warm.Optionally, prepare the sauce up to 3-4 days ahead of time, and rewarm before serving.
Baked Halibut:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.Brush an oven-safe pan with half the oil. Alternatively, use a baking sheet or casserole dish.Set the fish in the pan. Drizzle remaining oil over fish and sprinkle with salt. Cover the fish in lemon slices.
- Cover pan with foil, and bake 8 minutes per 1" thickness. The fish is done when tender and easily pierced by a fork.Note that thinner fillets of fish will cook more quickly, so take care to note the thickness of the fillets.
- Serve the halibut right away along with the tomato caper sauce.Any extra sauce can be used to top side dishes (such as rice, pasta, or cauliflower rice).
