Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon of butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 pound halibut steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup or more fish stock or chicken broth
Steamed carrot threads or pea pods for garnish
Black sesame seeds for garnish, optional

Steps:

Heat the butter in a skillet just wide enough to hold the fish. When hot add the vegetables and saute for a minute or so just to get them sizzling. Add the wine, cover and cook over very low heat until wilted, about 10 minutes.
Set halibut over the vegetables, season with salt and pepper and add stock or broth just to cover. Simmer, covered, over low heat, until fish is just done, about 10 minutes.
With a slotted spatula, remove haibut from the liquid and divide into two portions. Set each portion in the bottom of a deep soup plate and garnish with carrot threads or snow peas; season the broth and spoon it over the top; garnish with black sesame seeds if you wish.

Time 58m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chopped shallot
1 1/2 cups red wine
2 bay leaves
1 cup fish stock (homemade is best) or 1 cup chicken stock (homemade is best)
1 1/2 lbs halibut steak, 1 inch (or more)
salt
black pepper
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

Put 3 tablespoons butter in a 10-or 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
When the butter melts, add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 minutes.
Add the wine and bay leaves; increase heat to high, and cook until the mixture is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes.
Add the stock and reduce to about 1 cup, about 10 minutes.
Add the halibut along with some salt and pepper, turn the heat to low, and cover.
Cook for about 10 minutes or until the halibut is tender (a thin-blade knife will pass through it with little resistance).
Transfer the halibut to a warm plate and stir in the remaining butter, cooking and stirring until the sauce is smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning; pour the sauce over and around the fish, garnish and serve.
