Halibut With Grilled Peppers and Olives

Halibut is such a gentle fish, it doesn’t take much to overwhelm it. Blackening works well but does mask the flavor. Here’s a go-lightly recipe that respects the inherent qualities of the halibut while providing a subtle but flavorful meal. And, in a hurry — 20 minutes from package to plate. Fresh, natural, and delicious. 

4 halibut fish fillets

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1/2 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup of bread crumbs or seasoned bread crumbs.

2 red bell peppers, cut lengthwise into 6 thick strips

2 yellow bell peppers, cut lengthwise into 6 thick strips

Handful of green onions, split lengthwise. 

1/2 cup black olives

Heat oven to 375ºF.

Arrange fish on a rimmed baking sheet; brush 1 tablespoon of the oil over both sides of fish.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over fish.

Top each fillet with bread crumbs. 

In a small bowl, toss pepper and onion strips with remaining olive oil to coat.

Transfer to the rimmed baking sheet surrounding the fillets.

Bake for 10-12 minutew or until fish is opaque in center and flakes easily.

Arrange peppers on four warmed dinner plates.

Place fish over peppers; top with olives.
