Roasted Halibut With Pickled Beets

We just tried this recipe and completely love it. It's easy to prepare and a healthy dish to boot! The recipe serves 8 but I scaled it back for 4 and wish that I would have left the shallot, lemon, butter sauce at the full amount - it's so....good. The beets could easily be left off if you don't like them. We adore pickled beets so we ended up putting more on than the recipe calls for. The recipe is from June 2008 Eating Well magazine.
