In a vain attempt to redeem myself after that uncharacteristic fuck up, I purchased some nice halibut steaks. These are not your average fillets people; They are thick ass fish steaks that are ready for some
lovin'. I was thinking I would just cook them straight with some lemon to experience the full flavor of the fish, but then I thought better of it and dressed them up all nice like. They turned out to be fucking incredible so I would highly suggest making this dish. Let's begin:
Chop up one small zucchini, or courgette for you pretentious assholes, and saute it with some garlic until it gets softened but still has some firmness. Remove from heat and add one chopped tomato (seeded and gutted,
dumbass), 1/2 red onion, a handful of chopped basil (the fresh kind, moron), and some salt and pepper.
Place your halibut steak in a glass baking dish and cover that bad boy with your mixture. Top with feta cheese. "Damn you have been using a lot of feta cheese recently. What the hell?" Well if you must know, it was another freaking Costco purchase. Due to the absurdly large quantities, it is always a race to use it all before it goes bad. So far I am winning. Remember the notion of concept cooking, simpleton? It is all about using what you have on hand.
450 deg and 20 min later (cover with aluminum foil for the last 5 min) you have yourself a fucking awesome main course. This topping was nice and light and surprisingly it did not detract from the natural tastiness of the fish. It is a delicate balance but I perfected it. Eat it.

Fish again. Geeze.
Someone call whine-one-one and get the whambulance over here! Don't worry, as I type I have bacon wrapped asparagus in the oven. But for dinner tonight I have one more halibut steak. Then on to other things.
Oh yeah, you can make this topping and use it for whatever you would like. The topping itself does not need to be baked, just make sure you saute the zuccini.
My mouth is watering just looking it this...excellent recipe!!
Heather is my significant other and was lucky enough to have had the immense pleasure of consuming this wonderful dish last night. Thanks for the plug babe!
Haha...okay I guess my cover is blown. But really, it was one of the tasiest fish dishes I have had, ever. Even the $30+ Cedar Plank Salmon from Salty's can't beat it! Mmmmmm...
This recipe looks soooo good.
I am going to try it out myself
Looks great! I might have also sautéed the onion a little. Tough call.
I had bar food with some old friends tonight!! Fried veggies. I will be regretting that the rest of the night.
@Roentarre
Thanks! Let us know how it turns out.
@Hit 40
If I were using regular onions I would have sauteed them first but since I used red onion I didn't bother.
There is nothing wrong with some good bar food every once and a while!
Would you wrap that all up in foil and stick it on the grill?
I don't see why not. Good idea.
That LOOKS great - see BC for some of our recipes on this fish.
Take care dude
Because I'm a veg, I have no fucking clue what this would taste like or an alternative. However, I do have some friends that like fish that I'd like to make this for, but because they're even more high maintenance then me when it comes to eating, they don't like Halibut. Is there another equivalent fish that would work well here?
Unfortunately, no. No other fish is cut into steaks this size, except fish that would not work with this recipe. Try using it as a condiment. Cook the fish separately and spoon this on top. There is no real need to bake the topping except for the fact that the halibut needs the moisture.
Might try it with chicken instead then.
Well fuck them then. They don't get dinner.
@OWO
I would marinate the chicken in oil and vinegar, and use this recipe as a fresh topping. That might turn out very well.
@TWC
Losers. Who doesn't like halibut steaks?
My fucking moron friends. wWll and I guess myself as well, but that's a different story.
What a bunch of morons. That's too bad. I am making another halibut steak for lunch.
I made this last night, and it was fucking delicious. In the background, I had FMJ playing.
Hearing the gunny core out Pyle's ass just made my halibut taste better. Like Old Bay for the soul.
Nice! I am glad you enjoyed it.
Man, I come to down and you don't even cook for me! This looks awesome! Screw you man, screw you!
I am going to assume you mean 'town.'
I actually made this while you were in town and was going to make more halibut but you wanted to go to Pambiche. Thanks for dinner by the way Steph!
I love this blog...finally the abuse I deserve with culinary results.
Hi, Alex. This is Matt's mom. At which market did you buy your buffalo tongue for $2 a pound? That's an un-effing-believable price. To make it easier to peel the tongue, simply cook it (boiling works) for over an hour.
Incidentally, I have for you a Russian dish to die for; it is called Siberian pelmeni (which goes way too well with vodka). Come over and check it out yourself. Get our phone number from your parents and have your answering machine contact our answering machine.
