DELICIOUS!!! We used cod instead of halibut and 2 red peppers instead of 1 red and 1 yellow because we didn't have a yellow pepper. This was SOOOOO good!

Nice and flavorful and very easy to make. Two small changes. I did add salt to the halibut as it definitely needed it. Secondly, I added some onion to the pepper mixture for a bit more flavor. I cut my peppers and onions in thin strips which cut down the cooking time. They took only 5 minutes at the most. My halibut did take much longer to cook, but I did cook mine in a saute pan and my fish was a very thick cut. Cooking times will definitely vary depending on the thickness. It was a very nice recipe.<br/>Made for PAC 2011~
