Instructions

Step 1 Prepare the broiler and halibut
Heat broiler/oven to medium-high heat (450F). Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska halibut under cold water; pat dry with a paper towel. Arrange fillets on a spray-coated or foil lined baking sheet.
-
Step 2 Broil the halibut
Broil 5-7 inches from the heat source for about 5 minutes. Remove fish from oven, and place 1/2 tablespoon butter on top of each fillet. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Return to oven and cook an additional 7-10 minutes for frozen fillets or 4-6 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
-
Step 3 Meanwhile, cook the vegetables
Add remaining butter to a saucepan with the lemon zest, remaining lemon juice and mustard. Heat gently, whisking until melted, then add the thyme. Keep warm.
Heat the olive oil in a wok or large pan; cook the leeks and zucchini over medium heat until soft. Add the spinach and wine or broth, stirring until the leaves have wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Step 4 Plate and serve
Serve the fish and vegetables, pouring the warm lemon and thyme dressing over fillets.
