Stuffed Halibut
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Two (1 pound each) halibut
steaks
(3/4-inch thick)
About 1/4 cup green olive paste (olivada)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil to drizzle over the top
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Remove skin from steaks and the flesh away from the
bone; you'll end up with 4 pieces of fish from each steak
so you have 8 small fillets in all.
Cut a slit on the side of
each piece and stuff with some of olivada.
Lightly season the two sides of the steaks with salt and
pepper.
Transfer them to a baking pan, drizzle the top with olive
oil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until just cooked
through.
Keep your eye on the fish; you really don't want to
over bake it or it will dry out; the insides should have a
trace of translucence in them.
