1 pound halibut steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup or more fish stock or chicken broth

Directions

1

Heat the butter in a skillet just wide enough to hold the fish.
2

When hot add the vegetables and saute for a minute or so just to get them sizzling.
3

Add the wine, cover and cook over very low heat until wilted, about 10 minutes.
4

Set halibut over the vegetables, season with salt and pepper and add stock or broth just to cover.
5

Simmer, covered, over low heat, until fish is just done, about 10 minutes.
6

With a slotted spatula, remove haibut from the liquid and divide into two portions.

Set each portion in the bottom of a deep soup plate and garnish with carrot threads or snow peas; season the broth and spoon it over the top; garnish with black sesame seeds if you wish.
