Roasted Halibut w/Fresh Herb Sauce

Ingredients:
1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs
½ cup plus 1 tbl extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbl dry white wine
¼ cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
¼ cup finely chopped arugula leaves
1 tbl finely chopped marjoram
1 tbl finely chopped oregano
2 tsp red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Six 6-ounce skinless halibut or cod fillets

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss the bread crumbs with 1 tbl of the olive oil, 1 tsp of the minced garlic and wine. Spread the crumbs on a pie plate and toast for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned.

2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the ½ cup of oil with the parsley, arugula, marjoram, oregano, vinegar, and the remaining 1 tsp of garlic. Season the herb sauce with salt and pepper.

3. Lightly oil a large baking dish. Arrange the halibut fillets in a dish, season with salt and pepper and roast for 8 minutes. Sprinkle the fish with the toasted bread crumbs and bake for about 8 minutes longer, or until the fish is cooked through. Transfer the fish to plates, drizzle with the herb sauce and serve.

(The sauce can be refrigerated for several hours. This recipe serves 6.)
