Preparation

Step 1

In large skillet, saute onions and garlic in oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and wine. Heat to boiling; reduce to simmer and cook 2 minutes.

Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Arrange halibut over vegetables in skillet; season with salt and lemon pepper. Cover and gently simmer for 15 to 17 minutes for frozen halibut OR 10 to 12 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.

To serve, place halibut portions on platter. Spoon vegetables over halibut; sprinkle with cheese, olives and herbs.
