A few years back I tried a dish in a restaurant that at first sound did not sound very tempting, but once I tried it, it was all I could think about. It was a halibut fillet served in a broth of olives, onions, and tomatoes. I was too hesitant to try making this dish from scratch because I had never had anything like it before. I was happy to find that Giada De Laurentiis had a similar recipe so I tried it immediately. As with all recipes, the first time I try it I follow the instructions to a tee so I can figure out how to make the dish. After the first time, it’s a bit of freestyle and I start adding ingredients, cutting out ingredients and changing measurements to my taste.  What follows below is Giada’s recipe with my tweaks. Little stars “*” in the ingredients mean I either added the ingredient or changed the measurement. This dish is truly unique, but so hearty, healthy and delicious. It’s perfect for summer and winter as it’s equally refreshing and comforting. I hope this gets you to try something new – you won’t regret it, I promise! Recipe after the jump.
