Epicurean poached fish

POACHED HALIBUT AND PEPPERS 



  • 1 1/2 cups dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 yellow sweet peppers chopped
  • 3 tbsp. drained capers
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 to 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 Halibut fillets or any white fish
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Bring wine, water, sweet peppers, capers, garlic, and red pepper flakes to a boil in a large saute pan.  Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes uncovered.  Place fish in a single layer and season with salt and pepper.  Spoon liquid over fish.  Return to simmer and cook covered for 4-6 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness of fish- until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.  Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a little of the poaching liquid.
