Ingredients

SALSA:

3/4 cup fresh navel OR Valencia orange juice, 2 medium oranges

3 small blood oranges, cut in segments, segments cut in half

2 tablespoons red onion, minced

1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon navel OR Valencia orange zest, from 2 medium oranges

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

HALIBUT:

1 teaspoon navel OR Valencia orange zest, from 1 small orange

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

4 (6 ounce) skinless halibut fillets

3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Position rack in center of oven and heat oven to 425 degrees F..

SALSA:

In small saucepan boil orange juice over medium heat until reduced to 1/4 cup, 8 to 10 minutes.

Let cool.

In medium bowl combine the reduced orange juice, blood orange segments, onion, cilantro, olive oil and orange zest.

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

HALIBUT:

In small bowl mix the zest, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Rub mixture all over halibut fillets.

Heat oil in a 12" ovenproof skillet over medium high heat.

When oil is shimmering hot arrange fillets in pan.

Sear for about 2 minutes without moving.

Then use a thin slotted metal spatula to lift fish and check the color.

When the fillets are nicely browned, flip them and place the pan in the oven.

Roast until the halibut is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove pan from oven and transfer halibut to serving plates.

Spoon salsa over each fillet.
