Ingredients

  • 4 halibut or cod fillets (1-1/2 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
  • 3/4 teaspoon minced chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 whole peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 medium lemon, sliced
  • THYME WINE SAUCE:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
