Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 small summer squash or zucchini halved and cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • ½ onion sliced and separated into rings
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ tsp lemon zest grated
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ½ cup water
  • 1½ cups chicken broth
  • 4 (4oz each) halibut steaks thawed if frozen
  • 1 can (14½ oz) tomatoes cut up
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ tsp dried basil crushed
  • 1 dash hot pepper sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, add squash, mushrooms, onion, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and 1/4 cup of water.
  • Turn on the heat to high to bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Lower the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 4 minutes, or until the veggies are almost soft.
  • Drain the water from the vegetables and place them back into the saucepan.
  • In a large skillet, add chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
  • Carefully place the fish into the boiling chicken broth.
  • Spoon some of the broth over the fish.
  • Lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let the fish simmer. Check that it flakes easily, which will take about 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2 inch of thickness.
  • Use a slotted spoon to lift the fish out of the broth and place it onto individual plates.
  • In another bowl, mix together tomatoes, cornstarch, basil, and pepper sauce.
  • Cook and stir this new mixture for 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato mixture to the saucepan with the vegetables.
  • Stir gently over medium heat until the sauce gets thick and bubbly.
  • Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Spoon the finished sauce over the fish on each plate.
  • Garnish with fresh basil or lemon slices
