- Salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Season fish with salt and pepper. In a large skillet add the oil. Arrange fish in the pan and turn to coat in oil, then add garlic, shallots and wine. Top each fillet of fish with 1/4 of the tomatoes. Place the pan on the stove top and bring the liquid to a boil over medium high heat.

Reviews
Very easy and turned out great! I had fresh tomatoes I needed to use up. Halibut was on sale. Served with jasmine rice and a Caesar salad. My picky hubby was pleased
Excellent! Fish was moist and very flavorful. I substituted fresh grape tomatoes, added more garlic and used a sauvignon blanc I had open. I will definitely make this again.
Iread the reviews & followed directions of Meeko from Texas, using 3 cloves of garlic, fresh cherry tomatoes & shallotsm in olive oil, then sautéed the halibut. We both liked it a lot. The people who said it was bland must have no imagination, because most recipes are able to be modified to your taste.
Very fresh tasting. Light. Served with a side of Jasmine rice and a salad. Had some cherry tomatoes I needed to use up so I cooked them down in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper to use instead of canned and 3 cloves of garlic instead of one, (our taste. Loved the addition of the fresh basil on top at the end as a finishing. Used Tilapia as it what was on sale this week. Will be definitely making it again!
My wife an I enjoyed this thoroughly. Using good wine is important.
Yes, this recipe is healthy and extremely easy, but overall I thought it was completely bland. Definitely a waste of such an expensive fish.
I also like others used tilapia because it was on sale and it came out delicious. I used more garlic and shallots than the recipe called for because others said it was bland.
and I also added some chicken stock and a little bit of the juice from the canned tomatoes to the cooking liquid. (because the wine I had on hand was a little fruity)
I put the basil and tomatoes on the side because my husband is picky. I thought the basil was good but I could do without the tomatoes. this recipe is super fast and super yummy!

Its the year of the fish at my house and this recipe is absolutely delicious. Everyone cleaned their plates—even the seven and nine year olds.
Whoa, this was pretty bland. I doctored it up with some chicken broth powder and garlic salt at the end. I will make this again, but perhaps poach with chicken broth and wine. I will also be more generous with the salt and pepper. The three stars is for being so easy. A very easy recipe.
this was such a quick, and easy recipe which was ALSO very tasty and light!!! loved it!
