The bread for the panzanella may need to be dried out at first. Chop the veggies and start the salad. Thinly slice the zucchini and wrap the halibut. Toss the salad while the fish is searing.
Bread salad or panzanella is considered peasant food that was created as a way to use up stale bread. I personally feel this dish was made for kings. It is hearty, flavorful and rich. If you have bread on the verge of staleness, cut it in cubes and let it air dry. If you don’t have stale bread, try the method in the recipe for drying it out.
Long, thin strips of zucchini are laid on halibut and then just a bit of bacon is tightly wrapped around bringing them together. No extra fat or salt is needed to season- the bacon is plenty of flavor. Just a squeeze of lemon to brighten it. No flavor is spared as we use up any extra zucchini in a light saute alongside. If you prefer, turkey bacon or better yet prosciutto can be substituted for the bacon.
