Baked Halibut with Fingerlings and Olives is a mouthwatering one-dish meal that's simple to make and beautiful to serve, made with gold fingerling potatoes, green olives, halibut, and fresh dill.
I love simple seafood dishes. Fish is so quick and easy to prepare, but I honestly don't make it very often. I really don't know why it's such a fast weeknight dinner. It can be challenging to find really good quality fresh seafood when you don't live near the ocean. Thankfully, frozen fish is available at most grocery stores and price clubs, like Costco and Sams. There are also convenient mail order seafood companies like Sizzlefish. Have you tried it yet?
Tips For Making Baked Halibut
Make sure that the halibut, if frozen, is completely thawed according to package directions before making this recipe. A cast-iron skillet is a must for making this dish. You'll end up with perfectly crisp potatoes on the outside and tender flesh on the inside. Fish also turns out beautifully baked in a cast iron pan.
The fresh dill makes all the difference. You can be generous with the dill garnish. It's the perfect complement to the flavors in this dish and makes a lovely presentation.
