This recipe was in my newest Rachel Ray magazine. I decided to not make the sauce/topping that went with it, but I did make the drizzle. I think I either reduced the drizzle too much or got it too hot because it ended up being a lot harder than it should have been. More of a caramel like substance than a syrup like one... oops... Oh well! It tasted good anyway ;)
I had a hard time finding the parmigiano-reggiano cheese, but I wasn't sure what I was looking for at the first store either. It is a hard cheese that's just kind of pressed together, so really crumbly. I ended up finding it (already grated) at Yokes in their specialty cheese section. Also, instead of halibut, we used cod and salmon, both worked and tasted great.
Sauce
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large shallot, chopped
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
A few leaves basil, torn
Salt and pepper
Fish
About 2/3 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
Lots of coarse black pepper
Four 8 oz halibut fillets
Extra virgin olive oil
Store bought balsamic drizzle (or reduce 1/2 cup vinegar with 2 Tbsp brown sugar until syrupy)
- Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot and stir for a couple of minutes.
- Add tomatoes and basil, season with salt and pepper and cook to break down tomatoes (10-15 minutes).
- Mix the cornmeal with the cheese and black pepper. Add fish and turn to coat.
- Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook, turning once, until crisp and brown all over (8-10 minutes).
