Baked Halibut with Warm Fennel-Zucchini Chopped Salad

Because of its firm, meaty texture, I think of halibut as the strip steak of fish. Its light fresh taste is perfectly delicious in this, one of my favorite incarnations—cooked over a bed of browned potatoes with a shower of herbed, lemony vegetables steaming on top. The “salad” of lemon, capers, fennel, and zucchini releases flavorful juices and perfumes the fish and potatoes as they steam in a hot, hot oven.
