You can substitute cod or haddock for the halibut steaks. Or substitute salmon steaks or fillets, omitting the milk and using all water. Cut 3 thin slices from one lemon half. In a deep skillet that is large enough to hold the fish in a single layer, combine 3 C. of the water, the milk, the lemon slices, the bay leaf, and 1\/4 tsp. salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook gently for 5 minutes to blend flavors. Carefully slide in the fish. (The fish should be just covered by liquid; if not, add just enough hot tap water to cover.) Cook at a gentle simmer until the fish is opaque throughout, 15 to 18 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the oil, herbs, and the pinch of salt. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fish to plates. Discard the bay leaf. Sprinkle the fish with the pepper. Drizzle with the herbed olive oil. Cut 4 wedges of lemon and serve with the fish.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
