Halibut, a mild-flavored white fish, pairs deliciously with this zesty tomato-garlic salsa. Seafood lovers will rave about this recipe. Ingredients:
vegetable oil |
2 lbs halibut fillets (alternatives -- cod, haddock, red snapper) |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
1/2 teaspoon sea salt |
1/8 teaspoon white pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed (rub between fingers to waken flavor) |
2 large garlic cloves, crushed |
1/4 cup dry white wine |
2 tablespoons lemon zest |

Directions:
1. Lightly oil rack in broiler pan.
2. Rinse halibut and pat dry withh paper towels; place fish fillets on the prepared rack.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, salt, pepper, dill weed, garlic, wine and lemon zest. Brush half of this mixture over the fish.
4. Set the oven to broil (550 degrees F.).
