Halibut in a Tomato and Basil Sauce

The following recipe comes from Chow and Chatter:

Ingredients:

• 2 halibut steaks
• one can of chopped tomato
• about a cup of chopped fresh basil
• some Italian herbs
• 3 cloves of chopped garlic
• one chopped zucchini and one yellow squash (cut Julienne style)
• about a cup of polenta
• salt to taste
• 1/2 a red onion finely chopped
• a drizzle of balsamic vinegar

Method:

1. heat a little olive oil and saute the onions and garlic with squash and zucchini for 5 minutes then remove from heavy bottomed pan (I used a Le Creuset)
2. then pan sear the halibut with herbs on each side, add the onions and vegetables back in with a can of tomatoes and fresh basil and simmer for 20 minutes
3. serve over polenta, boil water and slowly stir in the polenta to desired consistency I like it like mashed potato – takes only 5 minutes!

enjoy!
