Summery poached halibut

Posted on September 9, 2008 by bipolarlawyercook| 9 Comments

Yes, I actu­ally cooked din­ner for the first time in ages. Noth­ing like being bipo­lar to screw up the cook part of the identity.

Hal­ibut steak poached in olive oil, white wine, and three ears of corn (cut from the cob), two chopped beef­steak toma­toes, and two dozen chopped green beans. The liq­uid was sea­soned with salt, pep­per, and dried basil. I over­cooked the hal­ibut, by about 5–7 min­utes. Sim­mer on medium-low heat, with a lid, appx. 10 min­utes, instead, until veg­eta­bles are al dente and the fish flakes under light pres­sure from a fork.

    Yum! We’ve not had fish for eons. [kids hate it apart from the dreaded fish sticks] Only me and my [big] daugh­ter crave fish.
    Best wishes

    I’ve never been able to poach fish with­out over­cook­ing it. For the ten min­utes you sug­gest, how thick were your cuts of halibut?
