HALIBUT WITH SPICED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cut whole onions into thin slices.
• Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a nonstick skillet until it is quite hot. Add onions, and saute over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to soften and take on color. When onions begin to dry out, stir in 2 tablespoons of the fish stock.

• Grate ginger, and stir into peppers along with five-spice powder.

• Meanwhile, trim, wash and chop cilantro and green onions, and saute them with pine nuts in the remaining olive oil in a small pot for about one minute.
• Add remaining fish stock and soy sauce to the pine nut mixture, and cook until slightly reduced.
• When fish is cooked, arrange vegetables on each of three plates; top with halibut, and spoon pine nut mixture over top of each.

HALIBUT POACHED IN LEMON-FENNEL COURT-BOUILLON

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by about 2 inches. Add 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer briskly until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and return to pan to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in a pot wide enough to accommodate halibut fillets in a single layer, combine 10 cups water, the wine, fennel wedges, lemon slices, and remaining 2 3/4 teaspoons salt.
• Place parsley, bay leaf, and some of the reserved fennel fronds between the leek halves, and tie together with kitchen twine. Add to pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer briskly until fennel is barely tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Reduce heat so that liquid is barely simmering (190 degrees to 200 degrees). Add halibut in a single layer. Cook, adjusting heat so that steam rises but only a stray bubble surfaces, until fish begins to flake when gently pressed and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of fillets registers 140 degrees, about 6 minutes.
• While fish is cooking, slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick, and divide among 4 shallow dishes. Remove 6 lemon slices from pot, and finely dice the peel. Melt butter in a small saucepan, and stir in lemon juice.
• As soon as the fish is cooked through, lift each fillet from pot using 2 slotted spatulas, and divide among 4 serving dishes. Add fennel wedges to dishes. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cooking liquid over each fillet; sprinkle with diced lemon peel, and drizzle with lemon sauce. Garnish with remaining fennel fronds, and serve immediately.
