1 tablespoon olive oil
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, thinly sliced
4 slender asparagus, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
6 baby carrots, peeled, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick ovals
4 shallots, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
2 cups bottled clam juice
1/4 cup Pernod or other anise-flavored liqueur
4 fresh basil sprigs
4 fresh dill sprigs

4 5- to 6-ounce halibut fillets

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add fennel, asparagus, carrots, and shallots; sauté until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to bowl. Add clam juice, Pernod, and herbs to same skillet; bring to boil. Add halibut fillets. Reduce heat to very low, cover, and simmer until fish is just opaque in center, about 10 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my halibut turned out dry and overcooked. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

The fennel and asparagus were a bit too crunchy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them to be cooked a bit more.

The Pernod broth was a bit too strong for me. I think I would have preferred a milder flavor.

This dish was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of fish, such as salmon or trout.

I'm not a big fan of anise flavor, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The Pernod broth was subtle and didn't overpower the delicate flavor of the halibut. The fennel and asparagus were also a nice touch.
