1
Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced tomatoes, black olives, capers, and sliced piquillo peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the mixture is fragrant.
2
Cook the Mussels
Add the cleaned PEI mussels to the skillet. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes or until the mussels open. Discard any that do not open.
3
Cook the Halibut
In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper. Sear the halibut for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky.
4
Combine Everything
Once the mussels are cooked, add the chopped fresh basil to the sauce. Place the halibut fillets on a serving platter and spoon the mussel and tomato sauce over the top.
5
Serve
Serve the Alaskan Halibut Provencal with slices of rustic bread for sopping up the sauce and a dollop of almond pesto on top.
