Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 ounces fresh halibut steaks, 3/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter, shallots, dill weed, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, garlic and salt; mix well.
Rinse halibut steaks in cold water and pat dry on paper towels.
In a 8 inch x 8 inch oven proof casserole dish, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place under the broiler on HIGH heat for about 2 minutes or until the butter has melted.
Place the halibut steaks in the casserole dish.
Spread one half the lemon/herb mixture equally over each steak.
Place under the broiler on HIGH heat and broil for 6 minutes.
Turn halibut steaks over and spread the remaining lemon/herb mixture evenly over the steaks.
Continue to broil on HIGH heat for another 5 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook the fish.
Serve with cooked basmati brown rice.
You may also use finely chopped chives or green onions instead of the shallots.
