Halibut Milanese

Here's how to serve Love on a Plate by Drew Barrymore (People Mag.) - keeping my seafood theme going from yesterday:
(serves 2)

1 8 oz. container of cherry (or grape*) tomatoes, halved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 bunch arugula
1/4 cup plus 1 T. EVOO
2 T. balsamic vinegar (or you can try white balsamic - I found this at Trader Joe's*)
1/2 t. Kosher* salt
1/4 t. freshly ground pepper
2 (4-6 oz.) halibut steak fillets
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
2 T. Kerrygold* butter

In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes, onions, and arugula leaves. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup oil, balsamic vinegar, S&P. Set aside. Place a halibut fillet between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound to 1/2" thickness. Repeat with second fillet. Remove from plastic wrap. Dip each piece in the beaten egg wash then coat with the panko, shaking off excess*. In a large skillet, melt the butter and 1 T. oil. When the pan is hot, add the fillets and cook for 2-3 mins. on each side. Remove from heat. Place one fillet on each plate, and top with a generous portion of salad. Mix the reserved balsamic dressing before pouring, and drizzle on top. Serve immediately.
