- I am blessed by being in a part of the world that has two of the finest
- seafood products in abundance: fresh salmon and halibut cheeks. The
- following is for the later, halibut cheeks, but you can substitute
- appropriate amounts of halibut filets or (although I've not tried it, I
- suspect) ocean scallops for the meat. This is simple, fast, and a total
- accident. I apologize for the lack of exactitude in the cooking time, but
- any seafood varies widely in the thickness, which dictates the total
- cooking time.

- Halibut Cheeks and Vermouth
-
- 1/2 lb. Halibut Cheeks
- 2 tbsp. Butter
- 2 tbsp. Dry Vermouth
- 1/2 Lemon
- Pinch Fresh Dill, finely chopped
- To taste Salt
- To taste Pepper
-
- Melt butter in pre-heated sautee pan. Add the vermouth and the juice of
- 1/2 lemon. Add halibut, salt and freshly ground black pepper and sautee
- for about 1 minute. Turn, cover and finish cooking on the other side, for
- a total cooking time (over low heat) of about 8-9 minutes per inch of
- thickness of the fish. (Start with the lower amount; overcooked halibut is
- dry and stringy; cook until flaky and tender.)
