Halibut Poached in Olive Oil

By maredan

Ingredients

• 2 * 2 skinned filets of halibut (1/4 pound/125 g each)
• 1 1/2 * 1 1/2 cups olive oil
• * Zest of one orange
• 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
• 2 * 2 sprigs thyme
• 1 * 1 clove garlic
• * Freshly ground black pepper
• * Fleur de sel, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 250°F/120°C. Lay the fish filets in a baking dish just large enough to hold them. Pour over enough oil to cover. Add the orange zest, fennel, thyme, garlic, and pepper. Bake until just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the fish from the oil. Garnish with fleur de sel. Serve with a little of the cooking oil dribbled over.
