POACHED HALIBUT STEAKS WITH NICOISE SAUCE
The ingredient that identifies this dish as nicoise is, of course, olives, and in this recipe there are both green and red. Tomatoes are also essential to nicoise cooking, as are olive oil and garlic. This is a colorful and full-flavored dish. A little cayenne gives it a sharp edge.

Steps:
- To make sauce, place tomatoes into boiling water for 10 seconds. Drain and pull away the skins. Cut away and discard core. Cut tomatoes crosswise and cut into 1/4-inch cubes. There should be about 1 cup.
- Place vinegar in a mixing bowl, and add oil, shallots, garlic, basil, black and green olives, orange rind and salt and pepper. Blend well with a wire whisk. There should be about 1 1/4 cups.
- To prepare fish, place fillets in a skillet large enough to hold them in one layer. Add enough water to cover fish. Add milk, onions, bay leaf, parsley, thyme, cloves, peppercorns, cayenne and salt.
- Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness of the fish, or until fish flakes easily. Do not overcook.
- Drain, remove bay leaf, parsley and thyme, and serve hot or warm with sauce.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. The halibut was cooked well, but the nicoise sauce lacked flavor. I think I would add some more herbs and spices to the sauce next time.
