Oil-Poached Halibut with Tomatoes and Fennel

Ingredients for Oil-Poached Halibut with Tomatoes and Fennel

• 8 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled

• 3 medium fennel bulbs, trimmed, reserving some fronds for garnish, and bulbs (including core) cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices

• 675g small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) tomatoes (preferably Campari), halved

• 1 cucharadita de semillas de hinojo

• 1 cucharadita de azúcar

• 1 hoja de laurel turco o 1/2 hoja de laurel de California

• 3 (3- by 1-inch) strips orange zest

• 0.9L extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 (1.1kg) piece skinless halibut fillet (about 1 1/2 inches thick)

• a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot (at least 4 inches deep)

Simmer garlic, fennel bulbs, tomatoes, fennel seeds, sugar, bay leaf, zest, and 1 teaspoon salt in oil, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender but still intact, 30 to 40 minutes.

While vegetables simmer, rub fish with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper and let stand 10 to 20 minutes.

Transfer vegetables to a bowl with a slotted spoon, then submerge fish in oil (if necessary, to lift level of oil, return vegetables to pot) and cover surface of oil with parchment paper. Cook fish over medium heat (without simmering) 5 minutes and remove from heat. Let fish cook from residual heat (still covered with parchment) until just cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.

Carefully transfer fish to a platter using 2 metal spatulas. Discard bay leaf. Surround with vegetables. Drizzle with some of oil and sprinkle with chopped fronds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
