This poached halibut is one of my favorite fish entrees. The lovely sweet-and-salty sauce has incredible flavor, texture and color.

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups orange juice, divided
1/3 cup white wine
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped shallot
1/4 cup butter, cut into four pieces
2 tablespoons chopped sweet red pepper
1 tablespoon chopped pitted green olives
1 tablespoon chopped Greek olives
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 halibut fillets (6 ounces each)

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring 1-1/2 cups orange juice, wine, lime juice and shallot to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes. Reduce heat to low; gradually whisk in butter until butter is melted. Remove from heat; stir in red pepper and olives. Keep warm.
In a large skillet, bring the garlic, oregano and remaining orange juice to a boil. Reduce heat; add fillets and steam, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with sauce.
