Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 1 1/4 pounds small fingerling potatoes, scrubbed
    2. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    3. Salt and freshly ground pepper
    4. 4 skinless halibut fillets (6 ounces each)
    5. 12 walnut halves
    6. 1/4 cup pitted green olives, chopped
    7. 2 tablespoons brined capers, rinsed and chopped
    8. 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
    9. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°. In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with hot tap water and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, then return to the pot. Toss the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Meanwhile, set the fish in a lightly oiled baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the flesh just begins to flake. Put the walnuts on a pie plate and toast for 8 minutes, until fragrant. Coarsely chop the nuts.
  3. In a bowl, mix the walnuts with the olives, capers, lemon zest, lemon juice and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the fish and potatoes to plates, spoon the walnut-olive relish on top and serve.
