Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut the halibut steaks in half. Wipe them dry with paper towels and coat them on both sides with one tablespoon of the olive oil. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the remaining oil in a heavy saucepan. Saute the onion and garlic until soft. Add the wine, stock and tomato puree. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat broiler.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the cover from the sauce and reduce by half. Meanwhile, broil the halibut steaks on both sides until cooked (about 5 minutes on each side).

  5. Step 5

    Stir the walnuts into the sauce. It should be quite thick. Season with pepper and add the olives and capers.

  6. Step 6

    Place the steaks on heated plates and cover each one with the sauce. Serve immediately.
