Triple-Pepper Steamed Halibut

Submitted by LMillerRN

"Nice when served with saffron couscous (also posted). This colorful entrée is inspired by the Italian vegetable dish peperonata, which includes sweet bell peppers, garlic, and onions. Use a large, two-inch-deep skillet to make sure everything fits. From Cooking Light."

Loved the recipe - I had a small tail piece so it required a bit more steaming. I held off adding the peppers until 3 minutes before the fish was cooked. I used Marsala wine which gave a heavenly flavor to the peppers. Served with Crunchy cabbage & rice
