Recipe - Halibut Domenica

1 One half pound Alaska halibut fillets
(1/2" thick)
One half cup Dry white wine
OR chicken broth
1 tablespoon Lemon juice

SAUCE
One half pound Mushrooms, thinly cut or sliced up
One half md Onion; chopped
4 tablespoon Butter
4 tablespoon Flour
One half teaspoon Salt
1 cup Fish liquid
1 cup Milk
One fourth teaspoon Thyme
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
(shredded)
Paprika or dill weed

Arrange halibut in a shallow baking dish. Pour One half cup dry white wine (or
chicken broth), and 1 tablespoon lemon juice over fish. Cover and bake in a
400 F. degree oven for approximately 10 minutes. Let cool slightly. Drain
fish liquid into a measuring cup. Add additional wine or water to make one
cup of fish liquid.

Sauce: Saute mushrooms, onions and thyme in 2 tablespoons butter. Set
aside. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and blend 4 tablespoons flour to make a
roux. On low heat, gradually blend in 1 cup of fish liquid and 1 cup of
milk. Bring to boil, stirring constantly, and cook 1 or 2 minutes until
thickened. Remove from heat, add mushroom mixture. Let cool. Spoon sauce
over halibut, covering completely. Scatter 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack
cheese over halibut. Bake, uncovered, in a 400 degree oven for 10 to 12
minutes or until sauce is bubbling around edges and cheese has melted. Dust
lightly with paprika or dill weed. Garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Serves 6.
