Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 fennel bulb, trimmed, thinly sliced
4 slender asparagus, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
6 baby carrots, peeled, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick ovals
4 shallots, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup)
2 cups bottled clam juice
1/4 cup Pernod or other anise-flavored liqueur
4 fresh basil sprigs
4 fresh dill sprigs
4 fresh tarragon sprigs
4 5- to 6-ounce halibut fillets
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chilled butter

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add fennel, asparagus, carrots, and shallots; sauté until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to bowl. Add clam juice, Pernod, and herbs to same skillet; bring to boil. Add halibut fillets. Reduce heat to very low, cover, and simmer until fish is just opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fish to large shallow soup bowls. Return vegetables to skillet. Add lemon juice and butter; stir until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon warm vegetables and broth over fish.

I'm not a big fan of fennel, but I loved it in this dish. It added a nice anise flavor that really complemented the halibut.

I found that the sauce was a bit too thin. I think I'll try reducing it a bit more next time.

The Pernod broth was a bit too strong for my taste. I think next time I'll use a little less.
