Ingredients:

1 pint fish stock
4 oz. unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
4 halibut steaks, about 6 oz each
1 tbsp. Pernod®
4 shallots, chopped finely
Salt and pepper
4 fl. oz. white wine
1 tbsp. white wine vinegar

Directions:

Place the stock in a wide shallow pan and bring to a simmer. Slide in the fish, cover and poach for 6-8 minutes until the fish is tender. Remove from the heat and keep the fish warm in the liquid while preparing the sauce.

Place the shallots in a small pan with the wine vinegar. Boil until only a tablespoon of liquid remains. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the butter one piece at a time, whisking constantly to make a glossy sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, return to the heat briefly. Add the Pernod®, salt and pepper, and a tablespoon of fish cooking liquid.

Lift the fish from the stock and transfer to warmed dinner plates. Spoon the sauce over the top and serve.

Comments from sbigelow :

The dish is topped off with a traditional European shallot butter sauce, made with wine vinegar, white wine and Pernod, which adds a much-needed subtle kick to the mild flavor of halibut.
