This relish also works well with grilled chicken. Serve with a simple spinach salad. Be sure to purchase wild Alaskan halibut for a sustainable choice; avoid Atlantic halibut.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped shallots

1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

1 cup chopped yellow bell pepper

1/2 cup chopped plum tomato

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions:

1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 1/4 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle halibut evenly with salt and black pepper. Add fish to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Carefully remove fish from pan, and keep warm.
2. Add remaining 2 1/4 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add shallots and garlic to pan; sauté 1 minute. Add bell pepper and next 3 ingredients (through paprika); sauté 3 minutes or until bell pepper is tender. Stir in parsley. Serve relish with fish.
