Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup cooking wine dry white
  • cups fennel bulb green thinly sliced for garnish if you like ()
  • tablespoon thyme leaves fresh chopped
  • tablespoons garlic minced
  • servings kosher salt and pepper black freshly ground
  • tbsp olive oil 
  • tablespoon orange peel grated
  • servings roasted garlic rouille 
  • 0.5 teaspoon saffron threads crumbled
  • 1.5 lbs onions sweet thinly sliced
  • 0.8 lb firm-ripe tomatoes coarsely chopped
  • pieces boned dried thick rinsed (1 in. , 5 to 6 oz. each)

Equipment

  • frying pan
  • grill

Directions

  1. Pour 3 tbsp. oil into a large frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add onions, fennel, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 15 minutes.
  2. Add wine, orange peel, thyme, and saffron; boil over medium-high heat, stirring often, until liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste; reduce heat to low and cook, occasionally stirring gently, just until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare a grill for direct medium-high heat (about 450; you can hold your hand 5 in. above cooking grate only 4 to 6 seconds); oil grill well. Rub halibut all over with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Lay halibut on cooking grate; close lid if using a gas grill. Cook, gently turning once, just until fish is opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), 6 to 10 minutes total.
  6. Spoon vegetables onto plates and top with halibut; garnish with fennel greens if you like.
  7. Serve rouille alongside.
