This is a simple tasty dish which can be put together in less than 10 minutes. There are great shop bought tapenade’s available from farmer’s markets and the like which add a lovely zing to the dish. The halibut stands up well to this where as more delicate fish might be overpowered. Full of heart healthy fats, carotenoids and flavenoids from the beans and tapenade and not a potato in sight!

Serves 2
2 pieces of Halibut – check for pin bones, dry with some kitchen roll and season
4 Handfuls of green beans, trimmed.
2 tbsp olive tapenade loosened with 2 tbsp of olive oil

Oven at 180C
Bring a small pot of salted water to the boil and blanch the beans for 1.5 minutes.
Tip them straight into ice water to seal the colour and stop the cooking.
Drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tbsp of rapeseed oil in a hot oven proof pan and place the halibut into the pan, skin side down.
Keeping the pan quite hot, allow the skin to crisp, dont move the fish around the pan.
After about 3-4 minutes place pan into the oven to finish the cooking, depending on the thickness of the fish about 6 minutes.
Take pan out of the oven and remove the fish to a warm plate.
Tip beans into pan to warm through for a minute or 2.
Arrange the beans on top of serving plates, drizzle over the tapenade.
Place fish onto beans and finish with a little more of the tapenade.
Serve and Enjoy!
