• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 ½ lbs halibut steaks , cut into 8 pieces
• ¼ cup chicken stock or ¼ cup vegetable stock
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 medium garlic cloves , pressed
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 450.
2. Place the fish in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.
3. Mix remaining ingredients well in a bowl and pour over fish.
4. Cover, and bake until done, about 15 minutes; don't overcook.
5. Check for doneness by inserting the tip of a knife into the center of the fish. Halibut should flake easily when done, yet still be moist.
6. Remove from heat just before it is done to your liking, as it will continue to cook.
7. Serve at once, pouring the pan juices over the fish.

Light and easy! I used tilapia because halibut was way too expensive at the store today. Thanks for sharing! Prepared for ZWT4.

Exceptional and easy. I added heavy cream to the pan juices and then reduced them. Yummy cream sauce!!! VERY easy to make.

This is really nice (and beautifully easy -- it's almost a crime!). However, it's very subtle; don't serve it with anything heavy or all the flavours will be lost -- just plain spaghetti worked well for me; rice would be good, or perhaps a little risotto.
