So simple and easy and, yes, quick, you won't believe how good it is! By way of the Los Angeles Times.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat.
  2. 2
    Lightly season the fish with salt and add the fillets to the pan and sear until they have good color, about 4 minutes.
  3. 3
    Turn over the fillets, reduce the heat to low and cook 1 minute.
  4. 4
    Remove the fish to a plate and keep warm.
  5. 5
    Add the garlic and shallots to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  6. 6
    Add the tomatoes, olives, capers, pepper flakes, vinegar and one-half teaspoon salt and saute 1 minute.
  7. 7
    Increase the heat to medium and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly. Add the fish back into the sauce during the final minute of cooking.
  8. 8
    Transfer the fillets to a platter, spoon the sauce over and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and the torn basil and serve immediately.

You know that song.... "These Are a Few of My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music???? (OK, embarassing that I even know that song!) I swear, THIS is the meal that swarms through my head as I eat each bite. It is so, so good. Fresh, lively, flavorful and INSANELY delicious over linguine. Holy cow, soooooooooooo perfect. Make this and love it!!!!

    This was fast, healthy, and delicious. I was looking for such a recipe to encourage my family to eat more fish, and this was a real winner. The halibut was moist, and the sauce was company-worthy...this is one recipe that I will use for mid-week dinners as well as for entertaining.

    I'm a big fan of Muir Glen, also! We devoured this fish... the capers are that "special" ingredient that made this recipe shine. A new recipe for company!!

    Really excellent. I have been looking for no cook or quick cook meals in the summer heat. This perfectly filled the bill for quick. I made a half recipe and it was enough for two. The taste is bright and fresh and I must say that I loved the capers in this. With a green salad it made a full meal. Very easy to do and a great summer use for Halibut. I did omit the red pepper flakes. Thanks Kate for a lovely dinner.
