A delightful dish featuring tender halibut baked with a rich and creamy tomato sauce, perfect for a special dinner.
Mix the mustard, garlic, herbs, and olive oil in a bowl.
Let the marinade sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Brush the marinade over the halibut fillets and shrimp, then let them marinate for 30 minutes.
Cover the seafood while marinating to keep it fresh.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Oil a baking dish and place the halibut fillets in the center.
Use a dish that fits the fillets snugly to keep the juices concentrated.
Scatter the tomatoes around the fish and sprinkle with additional herbs.
Cut the tomatoes into quarters for faster cooking.
Bake the halibut for 5 minutes, then add the shrimp and bake for another 8 minutes.
Check the shrimp for doneness; they should turn pink and opaque.
Transfer the tomatoes and juices to a pot, add the cream, and bring to a boil.
Stir continuously to prevent the cream from curdling.
Blend the sauce with an immersion blender for a smooth texture.
Blend in short bursts to control the consistency.
Serve the halibut and shrimp with the sauce drizzled over them.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
