Ingredients

4 Fresh or frozen halibut steaks (about 4 oz. each)
1/3 cup Finely chopped onion
1 Large clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp Butter
2 tsp All purpose flour
1/4 tsp Dried oregano or basil, crushed
1/8 tsp Salt
3/4 cup Lowfat milk
1/2 cup Chopped roasted red sweet peppers (use purchased roasted red sweet peppers)
2 tsp Tomato paste

Preparation

1. Thaw fish, if frozen. Skin fish, if desired. Season fish with salt and pepper; place in lightly greased shallow baking pan. Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork.

2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the onion and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in flour, dried oregano or basil, and 1/8 tsp salt. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly.

3. Stir in roasted red peppers and tomato paste; heat through. Serve over fish. If desired, garnish with fresh oregano.

Cook's Notes

I use more garlic than called for!

My family loved this dish. My DH isn't too fond of fish, but this way he did. The sauce was easy to make and fairly quick (as a mom of 2 under 3 I understand quick). We also mad the red-pepper sauce again another night added some sausage and served with pasta. Yum!
