Steps:
- Cook's Note: The halibut can be substituted with 24 ounces of sole fillets. Reduce the cooking time in the wine mixture to 3 to 4 minutes.
- Spray a 7 by 11-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- For the bechamel sauce: In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- For the halibut: In a large saucepan, bring the wine and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the halibut. Cover the pan and cook until the flesh is opaque, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a fish spatula, carefully remove the fish and arrange in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a broiler. Spoon the bechamel sauce over the fish and top with the Parmesan. Dot with butter and broil until golden, 2 to 4 minutes.

VANILLA SPICE-RUBBED GRILLED PEACHES WITH FRESH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium direct heat.
- For the rub, put the sugar in a small bowl. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the sugar using the tip of a sharp paring knife (tuck the bean into a bowl of sugar for vanilla sugar).
- Mix the vanilla seeds with the sugar, using the tips of your fingers to break up clumps. Stir in the pepper and cinnamon.
- Cut the peaches in half; remove the pits. Brush the cut sides lightly with oil; sprinkle generously with the spice rub (you will not use all the spice rub -- reserve the remaining for another use).
- Place the peaches, cut sides up, on a lightly oiled grill; grill until the peaches are starting to soften and the skin side is marked by the grill, about 3 minutes.
- Turn; grill until the sugar is nicely golden and caramelized, about 2 minutes (move to a cooler part of the grill if they are browning too quickly).
- Turn the peaches cut-side up again; place 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese in the center of each.
- Grill peaches until goat cheese is warmed and just beginning to melt, about 1 minute. Transfer to a platter.
- Sprinkle the goat cheese with a little more of the spice rub.
- Serve hot.

Tips:
- To achieve a crispy crust on the halibut, ensure the fish is patted dry before coating it in the goat cheese mixture.
- If you prefer a milder goat cheese flavor, consider using a blend of goat cheese and cream cheese.
- For a nuttier crust, use chopped walnuts or pecans instead of panko breadcrumbs.
- To prevent the crust from burning, keep a close eye on the fish while it is broiling.
- Serve the halibut immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Broiled halibut with goat cheese crust is a flavorful and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The crispy crust and tender fish are sure to impress your guests. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that everyone will love.
