2 large ripe tomatoes
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tsp dried thyme
2 180 g halibut fillets, at elast 1-in. thick
1 tsp butter, at room temperature
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup pitted and coarsely chopped kalamata olives, or pimento-stuffed green olives
1 green onion, sliced
Preheat oven to 500F (250C). Place a foil-lined baking sheet in oven to heat. Slice tomatoes in half. Drizzle cut sides of tomatoes with vinegar. In a small bowl, stir sugar with garlic, thyme and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle over tomatoes. Dot top of each fish fillet with 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) butter. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) salt.
Remove baking sheet from oven to a heat-resistant surface. Place fish skin-side down on hot foil. Place tomatoes cut-side up beside fish. Roast, uncovered, in centre of preheated 500F (250C) oven until a knife tip inserted in thickest part of fish comes out warm. This will take about 10 minutes if fillets are 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick or 15 minutes if 1 1/4 inches (3.5 cm) thick.
Pit and chop olives and place in a bowl. Remove fish and tomatoes from oven. Place tomatoes on a cutting board. Fold foil over to cover fish. Coarsely chop tomatoes. Stir into olives with juices. Place fillets on dinner plates. Spoon tomato mixture overtop. Sprinkle with onion.
