Cook The Book: Roasted Halibut With Grapefruit Fennel Salsa
- 2 ruby red grapefruits
- 1 fennel bulb, trimmed
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons pitted Nicoise olives, halved
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 (6-ounce) pieces halibut
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0F.
- With a zester or fine grater, remove 1 teaspoon of zest from one of the grapefruits. Use a large, sharp knife to trim away all the peel and pith from both grapefruits. Hold the peeled fruit over a bowl and cut in between the membranes to free the grapefruit segments; you should have about 1 cup. Squeeze the membranes over the bowl to extract the juice; you want 1/4 cup. (Reserve extra juice for another use.) Add the zest and segments to the bowl.
- Halve the fennel bulb lengthwise, slice it thin, and add it to the bowl with the grapefruit segments. Add the olive oil, olives, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
- Meanwhile, place the fish on a parchment-lined roasting dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the black pepper and bake for 10 to 12 minutes depending on thickness.
- Gently transfer the fish to a serving plate. Top with the grapefruit and fennel salsa and serve immediately.
