Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 med onion, chopped
½ red bell pepper, chopped
½ yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 tsp olive oil + additional for brushing parchment
6 Tbsp white wine
1 Tbsp dried oregano
2 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
4 halibut steaks (6 oz each, about 2" thick)

Steps:

. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. 2. In a small nonstick skillet, saute the onion and peppers in the oil over medium heat until they begin to soften. Add the wine, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper, and simmer for 4 minutes, adding a little more wine to moisten (if necessary). Remove the skillet from the stove, and set aside. 3. On a flat surface, measure four pieces of parchment or aluminum foil to wrap the steaks. Cut the paper 3-4" longer than the steak and 2½ times the width. Brush 1 side of each paper with oil. 4. Lay a steak slightly off center on each piece of paper, and spoon one-quarter of the vegetable mixture on top. Fold the paper over the steak. Fold or crimp the ends together to make a sealed packet. Repeat with each of the remaining steaks. 5. Place the packets on a baking sheet, and bake for about 20 minutes. (Thicker steaks will require additional cooking time.) 6. Carefully transfer the packets to serving plates. Cut open just before serving.
