this is similar to a Greek dish that I have had in the past, I was going to use a different kind of fish but decided on the halibut and I'm glad I did, this dish is absolutely wonderful, it has all of my favorite ingredients, I increased the capers, used a small onion in place of the shallots, and also added in 2 tablespoon fresh garlic when frying the onion, I also increased the chili flakes way up, served with pan potatoes, what a great Sunday dinner for DH and myself, thanks for sharing ChicagoRN will make again soon!... oh forgot to mention I also used the clams, I just couldn't omit them! :)
