    Method

    1. For halibut: In saucepan, add canola oil, herbs, lemon, garlic and shallots; bring to 180 °F (90 °C). Do not boil. When canola oil reaches good poaching temperature, place each portion of fish in oil and poach about 10-12 minutes. When done, place fish over paper towels, season with salt and pepper and allow excess oil to drain about 2 minutes.
    2. For Shallot Confit-Roasted Tomato Sauce: In small sauté pan, add canola oil and shallots. Cover with aluminum foil and roast in 350 °F (180 °C) oven about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and take shallots out of oil; set aside.
    3. Season tomatoes with salt and pepper; roast in same oven until tomatoes are golden brown and skins are blistered, about 12-15 minutes.
    4. In blender, add hot shallot canola oil, cooked shallots, roasted tomatoes (with juices), vinegar, paprika, cumin and lemon juice; blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and serve with Slow Oil-Poached Halibut and Broccoli Rabe with Almonds, Shaved Garlic and Crispy Shallots.
