Preparation

Baking Directions:

For the caponata:In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the onion and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

Cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Add the celery and artichoke hearts and cook until soft and the artichokes are lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, olives and raisins to the pan.

Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 25 minutes.

Stir in the vinegar, sugar and capers.

Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

For the halibut:Place a non-stick grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill.

Drizzle the halibut on both sides with olive oil.

Season on both sides with the salt and pepper.

Grill for 3 to 4 minutes each side until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

Arrange the halibut on a serving platter and top with the caponata.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

Cook's Note: If not using a non-stick grill pan, lightly oil the pan before grilling the fish.

The halibut can also be roasted for 10 to 12 minutes in a pre-heated 400 degrees oven.
