Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Parsnip & Celery Puree

    Peel and chop the parsnips and celery. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Grill the Vegetables

    Slice the eggplant and zucchini into rounds. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on medium-high heat until tender and grill marks appear, about 5-7 minutes per side.

  3. 3

    Cook the Halibut

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Add the halibut to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the white wine, cherry tomatoes, and capers. Bring to a simmer, scraping the browned bits from the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the sauce slightly thickens.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, spread a generous amount of the parsnip and celery puree. Top with the seared halibut, grilled eggplant, and zucchini. Drizzle with the white wine sauce and serve immediately.
