Secret Ingredient: Halibut

Achieve great flavor with just a handful of ingredients in this easy-to-assemble tomato and olive topping for halibut. Look for roasted tomatoes on the olive bar at Whole Foods Market. If your roasted tomatoes come packed in olive oil, use that oil as a flavorful substitute for regular olive oil in this recipe. To learn how to make this recipe, watch the Secret Ingredient cooking show.

Ingredients

2/3 cup green olives, chopped
1/3 cup chopped roasted tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 to 4 cloves roasted garlic, chopped
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 (5- to 6-ounce) halibut fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter

Method

Put olives, tomatoes, oil, and garlic into a small bowl and stir well. Set aside.

Combine flour, salt and pepper on a large plate. Dredge each piece of halibut in flour, shaking off any excess. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add fillets and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side. (A general rule is that fish should be cooked 10 minutes for every inch of thickness measured at the thickest part. Check that the fish is cooked through by cutting into the center with a thin-bladed knife and peeking inside. The flesh should be opaque, not translucent.) Transfer halibut to plates and top with tomato and olive mixture. Serve immediately.
