Directions
This is a lovely, simple dish. The saffron in the poaching stock turns the
fish a beautiful golden color. Be sure to keep the stock just at a simmer
as you poach the fish, so that it doesn't toughen, but remains succulent.
After such a lowfat main course, indulge in a slice of Chocolate Almond
Cheesecake guilt-free.
In a large saute pan over high heat, bring the white wine, stock, garlic,
onion, carrot, saffron, ground cumin, bay leaf, salt, and pepper to a boil.
Turn the heat down, and when the mixture has reached a simmer, add the
halibut. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side for a fillet 1 inch/2.5 cm
thick. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon.
