Ingredients 

2 (6 oz) halibut or other white-flesh fish fillets

1½ cups hard cider

1 yellow onion, quartered

2 sprigs fresh thyme

½ tsp salt

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved

2 shallots, chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 tsp fennel seeds

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ cup sliced basil

How to make it 

Place halibut, 1 cup cider, onion, thyme sprigs, and salt in a large saucepan. Add enough water to completely cover the fish by about one inch. Bring to a very slight simmer with just a few bubbles breaking the surface, reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until fish is cooked through. Adjust heat as needed during cooking to maintain the slight simmer. 

Place a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Add tomatoes, shallots, garlic, and fennel seeds; heat 1 minute. Pour in cider, add a couple pinches of salt, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in black pepper. 

Top the halibut with tomato-cider mixture and basil, and serve.
