How to Make Spanish Halibut

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Pat 2 lbs halibut fillets dry and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp flour.
  3. Place halibut in a shallow 8x12 inch baking dish.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Spread the sautéed onions evenly over the halibut in the baking dish.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup dry white wine, 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1/4 tsp saffron threads, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp capers (drained), 1 cup chopped tomatoes, and 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives.
  7. Pour the wine mixture evenly over the halibut and onions.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup water around the fish.
  9. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  10. Transfer to a large warm platter and serve immediately. Serves 6.
  11. Enjoy with rice pilaf, a tossed salad, and sangria!
