Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt liberally.
Add the beans and cook until they are tender-crisp,
3-5 minutes. Drain and cool under cold water. Pat dry.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a heavy, ovenproof frying pan, heat the olive oil over high heat. Season the halibut filets with salt and pepper and cook in the hot oil for about 3 minutes, until the bottom is browned. Place the pan in the oven and cook the fish until just opaque, about 8 minutes. Place the fish on a heated plate. Cover and keep warm.
Add the beans to the frying pan and sauté over medium heat until the beans are heated through. Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar and stir to combine. Stir in the onion, tomatoes and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon the bean and tomato mixture around the halibut filets and serve immediately.
