Smoked salmon roe olive oil vinaigrette:

Putting the dish together:
Sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of each piece of halibut. In a heated saute pan, add a little olive oil then add the piece of halibut. Cook the fish until ready. Place three pieces of artichoke hearts in a bowl plate. Add the charred sweet corn on top and then add the halibut.
Spoon the smoked salmon roe vinaigrette around and on the top of the fish.
