| 1 cup packed mixed herbs (parsley, chives, mint, tarragon, and chervil) | salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| 1/2 cup, plus 1 tbsp olive oil | sugar (optional) | |
| 1 tbsp tarragon vinegar | 6 thick halibut fillets, about 5oz (140g) each | |
| 2 garlic cloves | lemon wedges, for serving |
Process the herbs, 1 cup oil, tarragon vinegar, and garlic in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. If it tastes slightly bitter, add sugar to taste. Transfer the sauce to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until serving.
Preheat the broiler or build a fire in an outdoor grill. Lightly brush each fillet with the remaining oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil or grill, turning once, about 4 minutes, until the fish is barely opaque when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Transfer to plates and serve, with the green sauce and the lemon wedges.
