Baked Halibut with Rainbow Salsa

I bought this halibut not realizing that it still had it's bones in.  It wasn't a huge deal but I had to cook it a little longer than what I have listed here.  Also, the skin was on at is was super difficult to cut through to make steaks.  It was delicious but next time I would prefer it without skin and bones!

Rainbow Salsa
1 med red onion, chopped
3 med tomatoes, chopped
6 small sweet pepper, various colors, chopped
Juice of one lime 
1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt
Splash of olive oil
Combine the above all together then serve as a garnish on the cooked fish.

Baked Halibut
Pre-heat oven to 425°

4 steak size pieces of halibut
1/4 C extra-light olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
Sea salt a freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet. Lay the halibut stakes in pan and sear for two minutes each side. Top the halibut with garlic and put in 425° oven for approximately 5 minutes.  Should be flakey when done.

A perfect summer meal!  The day after we ate this, I mixed the leftover fish with some leftover salsa for lunch.  It reminded me of the fresh fish ceviche we've eaten in Mexico.
