Halibut With Fresh Tomato And Basil Salsa
Take care when cooking this dish as halibut has a tendency to break easily, especially when the skin has been removed. Season well to bring out the flavour of the fish and the taste of the sauce.
Ingredients
4 halibut fillets, about 175g/6oz each
45ml/3 tbsp olive oil
FOR THE SALSA
1 medium tomato, roughly chopped
¼ red onion, finely chopped
1 small jalapeño pepper
30ml/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
10 large fresh basil leaves
15ml/1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Serves: 4
Method
1. To make the salsa, mix together the chopped tomato, red onion, jalapeño pepper and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Slice the fresh basil leaves finely, using a sharp kitchen knife.
2. Stir the basil and the olive oil into the tomato mixture. Season to taste. Cover the bowl with clear film and leave to marinate for at least 3 hours.
3. Rub the halibut fillets with oil and season. Cook on a medium barbecue for 8 minutes, basting with oil and turning once. Serve with the salsa.
