Halibut with Creamy Garlic and Herb Sauce Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.

Rub the halibut fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice then season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish then press the cilantro leaves onto the top of the halibut. Bake the halibut in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions red bell pepper garlic and red pepper flakes until the vegetables have softened about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine and season with dill and tarragon. Simmer for 2 minutes then add the chicken broth half-and-half Parmesan cheese and remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then dissolve the flour into the water and stir into the boiling sauce. Return to a boil then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce has thickened about 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the halibut to serve.
