Halibut fillet is baked on a fragrant bed of thyme, parsley, and bay leaf in dry vermouth, which infuses the fish with a whole range of flavors. The aromatic juices from the pan are then reduced on the stovetop, creating a wonderful light sauce for the halibut. Serve the fish with cherry tomatoes, herbs, roasted garlic, and a homemade tapenade of chopped olives with thyme and lemon zest. A wonderful idea for a light Mediterranean-style dinner!

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat the oven to 230°C. In a medium baking dish, make a bed of thyme, parsley, and bay leaf, then sprinkle with garlic. Set aside 4 parsley sprigs for serving. Season the fish on both sides with salt and black pepper and place on top of the herbs.
  2. Add vermouth and drizzle the fish with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cover with foil, and bake until the fish is firm, 20-22 minutes.

  3. Carefully pour the juices from the pan into a small saucepan and set the fish aside. Set aside the garlic and 4 sprigs of thyme for serving. Bring the sauce to a boil over high heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  4. Remove bones from the fish; run the handle of a spoon along each side of the center bone, then remove it.
  5. Cut the fish steaks in half crosswise and divide them among 4 serving bowls. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve with a dollop of tapenade, if using, and garnish with thyme sprigs, garlic, and tomatoes.

    To make tapenade, combine olives, oil, thyme, and lemon zest. Season with pepper and set aside.
