Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds skinless halibut fillet, cut into 4 equal pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound zucchini, cut diagonally into 3/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon onion, minced
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled butter, cut into 8 tablespoons
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Pat halibut dry; rub with 1 teaspoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Arrange fillets several inches apart on a 10-by-15-inch rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, toss zucchini with remaining teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange zucchini around fish on sheet. Roast in oven, rotating sheet once, until zucchini is cooked through and fish flakes easily, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • While fish roasts, combine onion, vinegar, wine, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until almost all liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low; whisk in butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, letting each addition melt before adding next. Stir in parsley; season sauce with pepper. Spoon butter sauce over halibut and zucchini; serve immediately.
