Reviews
Solid dish. Agree with other reviewers that an expensive fish like Halibut gets lost. Used Cod last time, and that too gets lost but made me (and my wallet) feel better. Not sure what tweak would help make the fish stand out, but I’m not giving up. I like all the ingredients too much.
So quick and easy to make. And absolutely delicious.
Absolutly delicious!!! Super easy and quick to make. Full of flavor, but not heavy at all. Used tilapia fillets instead of halibut and ate it with white rice. I loved it.
I have been making this dish for a couple of years now. I saw the show again the other day and decided to write a review. I use my own sauce and the only other thing I change I cut the anchovy paste in half. If you have the sauce on hand, it comes together in no time. I have also used it to pour on top of grilled or roasted chicken. It is healthy yet very tasty and satisfying. What more could you ask for.
I made this dish for my wife, “It was GREAT”, but made a few substitutions, like I used cod loins for the fish, seasoned with old bay, and seared quickly in olive oil. I hope to make it again for our friends.
This was so easy and so yummy! My husband recently went to Alaska and we have tons of frozen halibut. I was looking for a different recipe and thought this looked good. It was super tasty and reminded me a bit of Choppino, which is one of my favorites. I will definately make this again. I didn’t use the anchovy paste because I didn’t have any, I served it over noodles too! Thanks Robin!!
I needed a quick recipe to use with some Halibut steaks and I am very pleased that I chose this one. I had everything, but the olives at hand. Even with out them it was great, I’m sure it is even better with them. The sauce is a great pair with Halibut. I will make this again and again.
Made this last night. Used store-bought tomato and basil sauce, roasted garlic and cod. Served with a chewy dense bread toasted (the bread was a failed attempt from another recipe, but it makes GREAT toast). Very, very tasty and easy to prepare. I would have given five stars except the sauce is so flavorful the fish gets lost. Therefore, I wouldn’t use this recipe with an expensive fish; rather, something like talapia. This is a very good dish and it’s going into my favorites for a fast, tasty and healthy weeknight meal.
Great meal that took no time to prepare. I served w/ wilted spinach, also very quick to cook.
I used DeCecco’s Napoletana pasta sauce in this recipe and it was great.
