Ingredients

Halibut

  • 4 slices halibut fillet (or sea bass), 1 and 1/2 inches wide

  • 1 or 2 fresh lemons

  • 2 teaspoons Gefen Olive Oil

Romesco sauce

  • 2 medium red bell peppers, halved, seeds and membranes removed

  • 1 large tomato, halved

  • 3 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds

  • 1 tablespoon Gefen Olive Oil

  • 1 tablespoon Kedem Red Wine Vinegar (see note)

Directions

Prepare the Fish

1.

Rinse and dry fish and place in a baking pan. Squeeze lemons directly onto fish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with pepper. Turn the fish pieces over and let marinate in liquid for about 10 minutes.

2.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

3.

Turn fish right side up and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven.

Prepare the Romesco Sauce

1.

Turn oven temperature to broil. Line a baking sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

2.

Place peppers and tomatoes, skin side up, on prepared baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes until a bit blackened. Turn oven off. Let vegetables sit in the oven for five additional minutes. This will make peeling them much easier. Remove from oven and peel.

3.

Place peeled peppers and tomatoes in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add almonds, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic.

4.

Process until smooth. Top fish with sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

If you don’t use red wine vinegar on Pesach, substitute with any dry red wine or white wine.  

Notes:

You can make the sauce ahead of time. Simply rewarm before serving.
