Ingredients:
2 halibut fillets (3 oz each), skinless
1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 leek, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
½ cup vegetable or chicken broth
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Juice + zest of 1 lemon
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
Fresh parsley or basil, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for garnish
Directions:
(Claypot Oven Method)
Preheat Heat your Magnifique claypot oven to 375°F (190°C).
Layer aromatics In the claypot, drizzle olive oil. Add sliced leeks and garlic. Let them soften slightly as the claypot preheats.
Build the base Stir in cherry tomatoes, beans, and broth. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add halibut Nestle halibut fillets on top of the bean-tomato mixture. Spoon some liquid over the fish.
Cover & bake Place the lid on the claypot and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and the tomatoes have softened into the broth.
Finish with lemon Remove from oven, drizzle lemon juice and sprinkle zest over the dish. Adjust seasoning.
Serve Spoon the bean-tomato mixture into wide bowls, top with halibut, and garnish with parsley or basil and lemon wedges.
Alternative Method (No Claypot)
If you don’t have a claypot oven:
Use a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven.
Follow the same steps, simmering the beans and tomatoes on the stovetop for ~5 minutes.
Add the halibut, cover with a lid, and cook over medium-low heat for 8–10 minutes, until the fish flakes easily.

Plating Notes
Claypot cooking gives a rustic, infused broth and tender halibut. Without the claypot, stovetop cooking yields a slightly lighter broth but the same balanced flavor. Either way, plate beans and tomatoes first, fish on top, with herbs and lemon wedges for brightness.
Wine Pairing
Sancerre (Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc) – crisp and citrusy.
Italian Vermentino – round, herbal notes that pair beautifully with the leeks and lemon.
