Large container cherry tomatoes

2-3 cloves garlic, minced**

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

3 skinless halibut fillets ***

Chopped basil and zest of 1 lemon for garnish

Half the cherry tomatoes and place them in a baking pan. 

Add the garlic, red wine vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, pepper and shallot. mix thoroughly

bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees

While tomatoes are cooking, drizzle halibut with olive oil, S&P

When the tomatoes have cooked 15 minutes, take the tomatoes out of the oven, put the halibut in the pan and use a spoon to top the halibut fillets with the tomato mixture. 

cook 10-12 minutes more

Once fish is cooked through, garnish with handful of chopped basil and lemon zest.

Serve with aioli (optional)

Aioli:

3/4 cup  mayo

1 cove garlic, crushed to a paste**

juice and zest of 1 lemon

salt (pink if possible) and pepper

Directions-

 Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl.

**I like using the frozen garlic cubes from Trader Joe's. They defrost quickly and save you from peeling and mincing fresh garlic.
