Ingredients

4 ea, 8 oz. Halibut Filets

1 1/2 c. day old Ciabatta or French bread, cut into 1" cubes and lightly toasted

1/4 c. unsalted Sliced Almonds, lightly toasted

1 Vine Ripened Red tomato, seeds removed, cut into 1/4” dice

1 Vine Ripened Yellow tomato, seeds removed, cut into 1/4" dice

1/2 medium Red Onion, cut into 1/4" dice

1 c. loosely packed baby Arugula or similar green

1 Tbsp. Capers, rinsed and dried

3 Tbsp. Sicilian Olives, minced

6-8 fresh Basil Leaves, minced

1 Tbsp. fresh Italian Parsley, minced

1 tsp. Anchovy Paste

1 tsp. Dijon Mustard

2 tsp. Honey

2 Tbsp. Red Wine Vinegar

2 Tbsp. Orange Juice

2 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar

4 oz. Extra Virgin Olive Oil + 3 Tbsp. for the fish

Kosher Salt to taste

Fresh Cracked Pepper to taste

Directions

Heat a saute pan on medium. Add the diced bread, and lightly toast while tossing but do not burn. Remove from pan and reserve.

Add the sliced almonds to the pan and lightly toast while tossing but do not burn. Remove from pan and reserve.

In a mixing bowl, combine the vinegars, orange juice, anchovy paste, honey, and dijon mustard. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking to emulsify. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To the bowl, add the toasted bread, almonds, tomato, arugula, onion, capers, olives, basil, and parsley. Mix together making sure that everything is evenly coated. Cover and reserve in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until the bread has softened and absorbed the flavors. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper just before serving and add more olive oil if needed.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and heat the oil for the fish in a saute pan or heavy skillet until lightly smoking.

Lightly season the Halibut on both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Pan sear on one side until golden brown, about 1 minute. Flip fish over and roast in the oven until the fish is just barely cooked though, about 8-10 minutes.
