Halibut with Warm Tomato Olive Salad
- 5 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 oz Halibut filets
- 1 clove garlic (chopped)
- ½ cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
- 2 medium tomatoes (cut into 1 inch chunks)

- Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil and lightly brush with olive oil. Put halibut skin-side down, on the prepared pan.
- Whisk 2 Tbsp. olive oil, 1 tsp. vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp. salt in small bowl. Brush the tops and sides of the fish with glaze.
- Broil until golden brown and just cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
