Ingredients

• 4 pieces Halibut fillets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.75 cup Pitted green olives, sliced
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the halibut fillets to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the fillets and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 8

Stir in the sliced olives and dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 9

Return the halibut fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the tomato mixture.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 11

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley.

Step 12

Serve the Spanish Halibut with an optional squeeze of fresh lemon juice, alongside crusty bread, rice, or a simple green salad.
