Halibut with Shallot Butter Sauce is a springtime favorite that profits from a dash of Pernod.
 

Ingredients:


1 pint fish stock

4 Ounces unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

4 fillets halibut steaks 6 Ounces

1 tablespoon Pernod

4 medium shallots, chopped finely

1 dash Salt and pepper

4 Ounces white wine

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
 

Preparation / Directions:


Place the stock in a wide shallow pan and bring to a simmer. Slide in the fish, cover and poach for 6-8 minutes until the fish is tender. Remove from the heat and keep the fish warm in the liquid while preparing the sauce. Place the shallots in a small pan with the wine vinegar. Boil until only a tablespoon of liquid remains. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the butter one piece at a time, whisking constantly to make a glossy sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, return to the heat briefly. Add the Pernod®, salt and pepper, and a tablespoon of fish cooking liquid. Lift the fish from the stock and transfer to warmed dinner plates. Spoon the sauce over the top and serve.
