Baked Halibut with Lemon Sauce
2 lb Halibut
1 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
3 tablespoons Butter
2 Egg Yolks
1 tablespoon Water
1 tablespoon Flour, All-Purpose
3/4 cup Chicken Broth
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 small jar stuffed Green Olives
Pre-heat oven to 350F. Grease a large shallow baking dish. Arrange fillets in dish. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Bake for 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Spoon off any excess liquid from fish. Pour lemon sauce over fish and garnish with sliced stuffed green olives.
Lemon Sauce
Start sauce preparation about 15 minutes before you put the fish in the oven. In a cup, mix egg yolks with water, set aside. In heavy saucepan over medium heat, into 1 T of hot butter, stir flour until well blended. Gradually stir in chicken broth and lemon juice. Cook with stirring until mixture is thickened. Remove saucepan from heat. Into egg yolks, stir 6-8 drops of Tabasco Sauce. Slowly pour egg mixture into sauce, stirring rapidly to avoid lumping. Cook while stirring until thickened (do not boil).
Serves 4.
