Garden Halibut
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/2 whole Purple Onion Or Two Med. Shallots
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 cups White Wine
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill, Chopped
- 1/2 whole Yellow Or Orange Pepper
- 1/2 pints Cherry Tomatoes
- 1/2 cups Grated Or Cubed Zucchini
- 1 Tablespoon Capers
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Basil
- 4 pieces Halibut, Cod, Or Other White Fish
- You can prepare this recipe using the ingredients listed or substitute your favorite veggies instead.
- It always turns out tasty.
- Add one tablespoon of the butter and oil to medium skillet on medium high heat.
- Add chopped onion.
- Saute until they begin to become translucent.
- Lower heat and add garlic.
- Cook an additional minute.
- Add white wine.
- Lightly zest one small lemon into the sauce and then add the juice of the whole lemon.
- Add dill.
- At this point I cut up the pepper, tomatoes, and zucchini and add them to the sauce, keeping the heat about medium low.
- The sauce should be reducing slightly.
- Taste the sauce and decide if you need to add more wine, salt & pepper or even a little water.
- It all depends on your preference.
- Let the sauce continue to reduce a bit.
- Again, this all depends on how juicy your tomatoes and lemon are.
- You may need to play around with it a bit, but I dont think you can mess it up.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter.
- It makes the sauce nice and glossy and mellows everything out a bit.
- Butter makes everything better!
- Remove from heat and add drained capers and fresh basil.
- Make sure your fish is nice and dry before salting and peppering it.
- Set aside.
- Cut out and fold four parchment or foil pouches large enough for each piece of fish.
- Place a tablespoon or so of sauce in the middle of each before placing the fish down.
- Spoon remaining sauce evenly over each piece of fish.
- Securely fold your pouches closed.
- There are several websites with tutorials on how to fold a parchment or foil pouch if youre not sure how.
- At this point you can either bake or grill the fish.
- If youre grilling them, place them on a medium hot grill for about fifteen minutes depending on the thickness of your fillets.
- The fish will flake apart when done.
- If you bake the fish, first place the pouches on a baking sheet.
- Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for around twenty to twenty-five minutes, again depending on the thickness of your fish.
- I prefer to use the foil pouches when grilling and parchment pouches when Im baking the fish in the oven.
- The foil just seems sturdier on the grill to me.
- One way to serve this is to remove the fish from the pouch and place on a nice bed of white or Jasmine rice and pour the sauce and veggies over the top.
- Please dont judge the photo of the halibut I took too harshly.
- It really is a beautiful dish in reality.
- I have a humble point and shoot camera, it was dusk and the light was fading, and I am NOT a food stylist.
- Enough said!
