Recipe - Halibut With Scallion Sauce

4 Halibut fillets, (about 6
ounces
1 pn Coarse salt
1 pn Coarsely ground white pepper
2 tablespoon Olive oil

SCALLION SAUCE
One half cup White wine
One half cup Fish Stock
4 tablespoon Unsalted butter One half stick
4 Scallions cut diagonal
1/3"
6 Chives cut 2"pieces
2 tablespoon Fresh flatleaf parsley,
chopped
1 tablespoon Shallots finely chopped

Preparation Pat the fillets dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both
sides. In a large skillet heat the olive oil and saute the fish over high
heat until lightly browned and easily flaked when pierced with the tip of a
knife, about 6 minutes total. Remove fish to a platter and keep warm. To
make the sauce, add the wine to the skillet, increase the heat to high for
1 minute, and add the stock. Bring to a boil,whisk in the butter, and
reduce the heat. Add the scallions, chives, parsley, and shallots and cook
for 1 minute, just until scallions begin to soften. Pour the sauce over the
fish and serve. . Warner Books " Mark Peel & Nancy Silverton at Home: Two

NOTES : Although the texture of halibut is wonderful, the flavor may be
considered bland, making it an ideal fish for children. For grownups the
highly flavored, light green sauce we offer here adds spark and character.
This dish is delicious with Horseradish potatoes.
