Garlic Baked Halibut
1 halibut steak, 2 to 3 pounds
1/4 cup flour
salt and pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1 small bay leaf
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
1 clove garlic, cut in half
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
chopped fresh parsley
Put flour in a shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper. Dredge halibut with
the seasoned flour.
Place halibut steak in a buttered baking dish; dot with 3 to 4 tablespoons of
butter. Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes, basting several times. Sprinkle
halibut steak with mushrooms, onions, bay leaf, garlic pieces, and wine. Cover
baking pan with foil, buttered so it will not stick to the halibut, and bake 20
minutes longer, basting a few times. Transfer halibut, mushrooms, and sliced
onion to a warm serving platter; discard garlic pieces and bay leaf. Add heavy
cream to the liquid remaining in pan; heat to boiling point. Taste and add salt
and pepper to taste and pour over halibut steak. Sprinkle with chopped fresh
parsley.
Baked halibut serves 4 to 6.
