  • Toss in escarole and orange zest with the garlic and shallots.
  • Add wine and quickly place halibut, skin side down, on the bed of greens.
  • Top the fillet with the butter and cover.
  • Reduce heat to medium and allow fish to steam for approximately 12 minutes (8 minutes per inch of thickness).
  • When the fish in thoroughly cooked (opaque and flaky), place the wilted greens in the center of serving place and top with the halibut fillet. Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
