Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the scallions, ginger, parsley, garlic, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste in a food processor or blender. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped. But the ingredients should retain some texture.

  2. Step 2

    Add the quartered egg and process briefly until coarsely blended.

  3. Step 3

    Pour water into the bottom of a steamer. Season the fillets with salt and coarsely ground pepper. Place them on a steamer rack. Lay one lemon slice over each fillet. Cover, bring the water to a boil and steam for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer the fish fillets to a serving plate and place some sauce over them. The dish can be served cold or at room temperature. Serve over a bed of sauteed spinach leaves.

Husband loved it. Me, not so much. I think it was the mustard and egg flavors in the sauce — had hoped for something super fresh and zingy tasting. I may try again without the egg and a lot less mustard.

The sauce is very tasty...although I made some adjustments due to lack of ingredients. But,...DO NOT STEAM HALIBUT! I used local CA, but it turned soft and mushy. No, I didn’t overlook. I use halibut often. I realize it needs a sauce for taste, but I always sauté. Next time I’ll sauté, then cover then sauce. BTW, no need to purée the sauce. I just diced and wisked.
