Ingredients: 2 halibut steaks, 6 oz each, 1¼ inches thick; 4 medium Roma tomatoes, quartered; 3 tbsp olive oil, divided; 1 small yellow onion, finely diced; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 1 tsp ground cumin; ½ tsp ground coriander; ½ tsp Aleppo pepper flakes; 1 tbsp red wine vinegar; ¼ tsp sea salt, plus more for fish; ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more for fish; 1 lemon, halved; 1 tbsp fresh mint, torn; ¼ cup torn stale bread (for serving); 1 tbsp clarified butter or ghee

A thick halibut steak seared until golden, cradled in a warm compote of Roma tomatoes cooked down with cumin, coriander, and Aleppo pepper. A charred lemon half squeezed over everything, with crispy torn bread to soak the juices. The fish stays buttery and flakes into perfect, delicate curds.
