GRILLED HALIBUT STEAKS WITH POTATOES, OLIVES, AND ONIONS

Steps:

• In a pot, cover potatoes with 2 inches water; generously season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook 8 minutes. Add onions; continue boiling until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife and onions are crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes more. Drain; let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, peel onions.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and 1/2 cup oil. Chop enough oregano to yield 3 tablespoons (from 2 to 3 sprigs) and stir into vinaigrette with olives; season with salt and pepper. In another bowl, toss potatoes and onions with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Brush fish and remaining oregano sprigs with oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Brush grates with oil, add vegetables, and grill, turning a few times, 6 minutes. Add fish to grill and top with oregano. Cook fish and vegetables, turning fish once halfway through, until fish is just cooked and vegetables are charred in places and tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Transfer to dish with vinaigrette, turning to evenly coat. Let stand, turning a few times, until no longer hot but still warm, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, grill split side of bread until charred in places, 1 to 2 minutes; slice. Serve fish, vegetables, and vinaigrette over greens, with grilled bread.

• Grill fish fillets for about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and fish can be flaked with a fork. Remove to a warm serving plate.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, remaining lime juice and cilantro. Serve fish with the cilantro butter sauce.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH OLIVE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or broiler to very hot.
• Press the pepper into the surface of the fish. Brush the fish with all but one tablespoon of the oil.
• Grill or broil the fish, turning it once, until it is just cooked, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish and the heat of the grill or broiler.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining oil with the olives, lemon juice and garlic. As soon as the fish is cooked, transfer it to a platter and spoon the olive mixture on top.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH CRISPY RICE AND GREEN BEANS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Preheat a wood-fired or regular oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat the bottom of a 14-inch cast-iron pan with canola oil and turn on the heat to medium-high. Meanwhile, portion the rice into 4 flattened discs, about 3/4 cup each. Once the oil is heated, add the rice cakes and cook until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes for each side.
• Add the haricots verts to the boiling water and cook until slightly softened and brightened in color, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer the haricots to an ice water bath until cool to the touch. Slice each haricot into thin rings. Transfer to a bowl and dress with some Fish Sauce Vinaigrette. Fold in the tobiko and set aside.
• Prepare the fish for the grill by rubbing the fillets with olive oil and sprinkling with salt and pepper. Rub the grill grates with an oiled towel and lay the fillets down. Cook with the grill open until you have nice grill marks and the fish releases easily from the grill, 5 to 7 minutes on the first side. Flip and let cook another 5 minutes. Remove the fish to a sheet tray. Transfer to the oven until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the crispy rice cakes on a platter and top with the grilled halibut fillets. Drizzle the Vinaigrette over the fish and around the platter. Garnish each halibut fillet with a teaspoon of the tobiko and a few sprigs of the wood sorrel and serve.
• Whisk together the olive oil, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, sugar, chives, curry powder, ginger, sesame oil, chile, garlic, lime zest and juice in a small bowl until combined.

GRILLED HALIBUT à LA NIçOISE WITH HARICOTS VERTS, OLIVES, CHERRY TOMATOES, AND ANCHOVY BUTTER

Steps:

• Season the halibut with the zest of one lemon, 1 tablespoon thyme, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 1 teaspoon salt. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan, cover with foil, and cook 30 to 40 minutes, until they're tender when pierced. (Depending on their size, age, and variety, the cooking time will vary.)
• Light the grill 30 to 40 minutes ahead of time. Take the halibut out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking it, so it comes to room temperature.
• Blanch the haricots verts in heavily salted water 2 to 3 minutes, until they're tender but still al dente. Remove to a baking sheet or platter to cool. Bring the water back to a boil, and carefully lower the eggs into the water. Turn the heat down to a very low simmer, and cook the eggs exactly 9 minutes. Remove the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely. Peel the eggs, and cut them in half. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the spinach and olives in a large salad bowl.
• Heat a large sauté pan over high heat for 1 minute. Pour in 1/4 cup olive oil, and add the sliced shallots and remaining tablespoon thyme to the pan. Cook 1 minute, until the shallots are just wilted. Add the haricots verts and the potatoes, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly round pepper.
• When the vegetables are hot, toss them into the bowl of spinach and olives. Season with another 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Toss well to dress the spinach and wilt it slightly. Taste for seasoning. Arrange the salad on a large platter. Tuck the eggs among the spinach leaves.
• Meanwhile, when the coals are broken down, red, and glowing, brush the halibut with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the fish on the grill, and cook 2 minutes. Give the fish a quarter-turn, and cook a minute or two more. Turn over, and cook until it's just barely cooked through; peek inside to check for doneness. When it's done, the halibut will begin to flake and separate a little, and the center will still be slightly translucent. Remember, the fish will continue to cook a little more once you take it off the grill. Arrange the fish on top of the salad.
• Return the vegetable pan to the stove, and heat over medium-high. Add the butter, and cook a few minutes, until it starts to brown and smells nutty. Add the anchovy, cherry tomatoes, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grindings of black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, shaking the pan often, until the tomatoes release some of their juice. Squeeze some lemon juice into the butter, and taste for balance and seasoning. Stir in the basil and remaining 2 tablespoons parsley. Spoon the sauce over the fish and around the salad.
• Note
• Season the fish with lemon and herbs early in the day. You can roast the fingerlings, blanch the haricots verts, clean the spinach, cut the cherry tomatoes, clean the anchovies, and cook the eggs ahead of time.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH HERB SALAD AND MEYER LEMON-GREEN OLIVE SALSA

Steps:

• Place halibut in a baking dish large enough to lay fillets flat without overcrowding; season with zest, thyme, and chopped parsley. Cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Heat grill pan over high heat until very hot. Allow fillets to return to room temperature before cooking, about 15 minutes; just before cooking, toss fennel, fleur de sel, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a large bowl.
• Brush fish on both sides with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper; place on grill, and cook, rotating once 90 degrees, until nicely colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn, and cook until it begins to flake and separate a little, being careful not to overcook the fish.
• Gently toss arugula and herbs with fennel; season with salt and pepper. Arrange salad on a serving platter, place fish on top, and spoon salsa over halibut. Serve with remaining salsa on the side.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH HERB SALAD AND MEYER LEMON-GREEN OLIVE SALSA

Steps:

• Season the fish with the lemon zest, thyme, and sliced parsley. Cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Remove the fish from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking, to let it come to room temperature.
• Light the grill 30 to 40 minutes before you're ready to cook.
• Just before you grill the fish, toss the sliced fennel with the fleur de sel, the super-good olive oil, and 1 tablespoon Meyer lemon juice in a large bowl.
• When the coals are broken down, red, and glowing, brush the fish with the regular extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the fish on the grill, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, rotating the fish once, until it's nicely colored on the first side. Turn the fish over, and cook a few more minutes, until it's almost cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the fish. When it's done, it will begin to flake and separate a little, but the center will still be slightly translucent. Remember, the halibut will continue to cook a bit more once you take it off the grill.
• While the fish is cooking, very gently toss the arugula and herbs with the fennel. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and taste. Arrange the salad on a large platter, place the fish on top, and spoon some of the Meyer lemon-green olive salsa over the halibut. Serve the remaining salsa on the side.
• Meyer Lemon-Green Olive Salsa
• Place the shallot, champagne vinegar, and a healthy pinch of salt in a small bowl, and let sit 5 minutes.
• Slice the stem and blossom ends from the Meyer lemons. Stand the lemons on one end, and cut them vertically into 1/8-inch slices. Stack the slices in small piles on a cutting board, and cut them lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks. Line up the matchsticks, and cut them into 1/8-inch cubes.
• Add the diced lemon to the shallot. Stir in the honey, olives, parsley, a pinch of pepper, and the olive oil. Taste for balance and seasoning.
• Note
• The halibut needs to be seasoned with lemon and herbs at least 4 hours ahead of time. You can pick the herbs and make the salsa a few hours ahead.
