Ingredients

4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil, for liberal drizzling plus 1/4 cup
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (1-inch) thick slices crusty bread
1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 to 3 cloves garlic, grated
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons capers, run your knife through them
1/2 cup pitted black olives, chopped
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved or cherry tomatoes, quartered

Directions

Preheat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high to high heat.

Coat the fish in extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook fish for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until firm, cooked through and evenly marked. Char bread on the grill 1 minute on each side.

While fish cooks, in the bottom of a medium bowl, combine anchovy paste, grated garlic, red pepper flakes, zest and lemon juice and whisk in 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil. Add capers, olives, parsley and tomatoes. Toss and season with black pepper, to taste.

Serve bread topped with lots of salsa and fish.

Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Was able to get fresh halibut at my market yesterday and wanted to make it special (given the price!). Based on the reviews,... thought I'd give this one a try. My challenges were: I am single so the quantities needed to be adjusted. Also, didn't have anchovy paste but I did have some previously opened anchovies and I did not have black olives but I have pitted calamanta olives both of which I used. I didn't use the bread because I a trying to loose weight but the overall results were delicious and I look forward to making it again. I love trying new things that live up to my expectationsRead more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe. I usually do the fish and bread over the stove with a griddle pan, so it still gets the grill marks. I... had not used anchovy paste before, and was a little worried about that, but the salsa turned out delicious. Since then, I've also added my own little twist, where I lay down a bed of spinach leaves on the toast before I set the fish on it. Enjoy!Read more

Very good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This sounded so good, so I ran by The Fresh Market on my way home and grabbed the ingredients. I did change it a bit,... though. I actually cooked the puttanesca sauce a little. I always expect good things from Rachael.Read more

BEST SUMMER FISH
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe. It's so light, but filling. I do the puttanesca sauce before my husband gets home and then I love just... sitting out on the deck with a glass of wine while my husband grills. It's a nice change to actually be able to talk while getting diner ready instead of rushing arun in the kitchen by myself. This recipe is what I think of when I think of grilling in the summer.Read more

LOOOOVE puttanesca anything!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Just make sure that you are adding the ingredients to taste....we found the required amount of parsley to be too much and... would adjust the lemon juice to taste also...is really good if you allow it to sit as well. Yum!Read more

My husband and I LOVE this recipe. We make it all the time and I've used other types of white fish and it always tastes... great. I can't wait to get home because we're making it tonight!!! We only have it when the kids aren't around so we can eat it all ourselves!Read more
