Halibut with Tomatoes, Capers and Olives


Bright fruit flavors coupled with hints of toast and allspice make Cuvaison Chardonnay the perfect choice for delicate white halibut accented with savory tomatoes and ripe olives.

For the Fish:

1 4 lb. halibut filet
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Coat halibut filet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135°F.

For the Tomatoes:
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 medium cloves garlic, minced
2 28-ounce cans premium tomatoes
8 ounces Kalamata olives, halved
3 tablespoons basil leaf, chopped
3 tablespoons capers, rinsed
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
In a 12-inch skillet over medium-low flame, heat the olive oil and add garlic. Cook for 1 minute; do not let the garlic brown. Add tomatoes with any remaining puree, olives, capers and red pepper. Bring sauce to a brisk simmer and cook about 8 minutes stirring frequently. Spoon sauce over fish and garnish with basil.
