Bold Spanish ingredients lend loads of smoky, briny, woodsy flavor to mild-tasting, firm but flaky halibut fillets. If you prefer, use cod instead. Either way, look for fillets that are at least 1 inch thick so they remain moist and flavorful and don’t overcook. Serve with warm, crusty bread.

Super Easy and Good
I did use cod, which I had on hand. Easy to make and delicious, and it used available grocery store items. This is a keeper!

Quick and Delicious
A short ingredient list that packs a lot of flavor. Used halibut and made exactly as written.

Another Quick, Simple Recipe that Everyone Loves
My S.O. is very skeptical of anything I cook, but the recipes I've tried so far from COOKish (and from the Tuesday Nights book) have been big hits and I intend to make them pretty frequently. Halibut is not cheap, to be fair, but I expect this would be great with cod, as well, since the chorizo, olives, and sherry wine vinegar provide most of the flavor here. Highly recommend.

Simple, Easy, and Fast
This took my by surprise. It is a simple dish with great flavor. I love chorizo and halibut. They complement each other well.

Wow, such flavor and super simple to make. Another great recipe from the folks at Milk Street. I prefer Cod over Halibate, to me at least it's easy to find and super moist when cooked right. I added a few jumbo shrimp and an extra Chorizo, tomatoes, and olives. One family member is not a fan of fish, so added the shrimp. Plus who doesn't like a little extra shrimp and chorizo! I recommend the extra tomatoes, everyone was searching the pan for more tomatoes, even after I added more, to begin with. I made this with a side of white rice and steamed spinch. The white rice absorbed all flavors and balanced out any grease from the Chorizo, which wasn't much because I special order my Chorizo and I think it has the superb balance of pork goodness, fat, and paprika. Actually, I special order the Spanish Chorizo from a rather famous place in Queens, NY., I would put the name here but I am not sure Milk Street would appreciate it, but it's super easy to find, just google Spanish Chorizo ~ Queens, NY. I order 5 lbs of Chorizo for the discount and savings on shipping. I easily get several special meals out of each order. Very Authentic, they have a Chorizo mixture/recipe that they brought from Spain decades ago. I also paired this meal with a very reasonably priced bottle of Spanish Rioja wine. I sure was on $10-$12 bottle, I rarely spend more than $20 a bottle. The fruitness seems to cut through Chorizo. I buy few reasonably priced Sicilian wines that bet would pair nicely, as well. I recommend you spend your money on authentic Chorizo, not wine.
