Halibut With Herbs & Capers
Halibut With Herbs & Capers is If you have olives, cilantro leaves, parsley leaves, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 1 hour and 8 minutes.
Instructions
Place onion, parsley, cilantro, lemon zest, lemon juice, olives, capers, garlic and pepper in a food processor; pulse several times to chop.
Add oil and process, scraping down the sides several times, until a pesto-like paste forms. Pat halibut with the herb paste. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.Preheat oven to 450F. Coat a 7-by-11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the halibut in the dish and spoon any extra herb mixture on top.
Bake, uncovered, until the fish is opaque in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Halibut can be paired with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Santi Sortesele Pinot Grigio with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
