Mediterranean-Style Baked Halibut Steaks

title

This is a great, quick meal. I found this recipe online, at Bigoven.com when I was looking for something to do with frozen halibut steaks.

Sometimes I make this at night (not even for dinner) and we take it for lunches the next day. It reheats well and is always tasty. Plus, best of all, it is a great use for the wild, frozen halibut steaks that they have at Trader Joe’s. Thus, it qualifies as a Cheap Fish Project.

If you do use steaks, just cut the skin off if you prefer (I do) and defrost if your fish is frozen. You could of course, use fillets here but it works just wonderfully with the steaks.

Mediterranean-Style Baked Halibut Steaks
Adapted from a recipe on Big Oven
1 tbsp olive oil + more for baking dish
1 small zucchini, chopped
1/2 white onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp dried thyme or oregano
1/4 cup white wine
1 small tomato, diced
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
salt & pepper
2 6-oz halibut steaks

If your halibut is not defrosted, you can do that in some cold water. Just submerge the package for 15 or so minutes and that should do it.

  1. Great looking recipe. I’m always looking for quick and healthy meals and this one qualifies. Thanks!
    P.S. Any other types of fish you’d recommend with this dish? Or maybe even some quick seared scallops?

  2. John: Thanks! I’ve also done this with mahi mahi and salmon. This is one my go-to recipes for using the frozen fish from TJ’s!
    Hmmm…scallops. I bet seared scallops would be great just on top of some sauteed veggies and skip the baking all together. Even quicker! 😉

  3. This was delicious. I had a recipe and when I went to cook my fish I could not find it. I knew it had mediterranean olives and capers in it and I had planned on putting zucchini in the recipe so this recipe was perfect with my additions. Thank you for the great recipe! Are you even monitoring this site anymore? I see this was from 2009.
