Halibut in artichoke and tomato broth

1) Drizzle 15ml of olive oil over the halibut and season with salt and pepper. Heat a griddle pan over high heat. Cook the fish on the griddle pan until just cooked through, about four minutes per side, depending on thickness.

2) In a medium saucepan, heat the 45ml of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook for one minute. Add the garlic and artichokes and cook until golden brown, about five minutes. Add the white wine and stir, scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes and juice, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

3) Ladle the artichoke and tomato broth into shallow bowls. Top with the griddled halibut. Serve immediately.
