Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 pound bacon
1 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or butter
1 1/2 to 2 pounds halibut
Salt and pepper to taste
15 spring or pearl onions, trimmed and peeled, or 1 large white onion, chopped
1 pound small peas, fresh or frozen, or use fresh snap or snow peas, trimmed
2 cups chopped heart of romaine lettuce
1/2 cup chopped mint leaves

Steps:

  • If using bacon, cut it into 1/4-inch bits, and render it with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet, which can later be covered. Stir until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, and reserve. If using olive oil or butter, put 3 tablespoons in skillet over medium high heat.
  • Brown fish in fat quickly, just a couple of minutes to a side, sprinkling it with salt and pepper as it browns. Remove, and set aside.
  • Add onions to pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add peas and lettuce, and cook, stirring, until glistening. Add a little more salt and pepper. Return fish to pan, simply resting it on top of peas-lettuce mixture. Turn heat to medium-low, cover, and cook gently until fish is done. (A thin-bladed knife inserted into its thickest part will meet little or no resistance.)
  • Remove fish to a platter. Stir bacon and mint into peas mixture. Taste, and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve fish with vegetable mixture on the side.

This recipe is a keeper! The halibut was moist and flaky, and the peas were perfectly cooked. I loved the addition of lemon and dill, which really brightened up the dish. I will definitely be making this again.
