Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet onion - cut into slices like Vidalia, Maui, or Walla Walla
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • kosher salt if desired you can skip this since salted butter is being used. I added a tiny amount with the pepper
  • 1/2 cup white wine I used Rodney Strong 2019 Charlotte's Home Sauvignon Blanc
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 1/3 lb halibut steaks cut as uniformly as possible
  • 1 tsp Meyer Lemon Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Seven Barrels

Equipment

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°
  2. Trim the ends from the onion and remove peel. Cut into thick slices
  3. Heat the pan on high heat. Add 2 tbsp butter and lay onions in a single layer
  4. If desired, rinse the fish. Pat dry. Season generously with fresh cracked pepper. If desired, add a little kosher salt
  5. Lay fish steaks on top of onion slices. Add wine and rosemary sprigs. Lower heat slightly. Top with the last of the butter.
  6. Baste the fish with the melted butter and add lemon juice
  7. Carefully put pan in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until a sharp knife easily goes through filet
  8. Carefully remove from oven and baste with juices again. Drizzle with a little bit of Meyer Lemon Olive Oil to tastes.
