Recipe is easily increased to make more servings.





List of Ingredients



• 2/3 cup drained bottled roasted red peppers
  
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar, or to taste
  
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  
• 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  
• 1 pound halibut steak
  
• 1/2 small green bell pepper, cut into julienne strips
  
• 1/2 small red or yellow bell pepper, cut into julienne strips
  
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  






Instructions



1. In a food processor puree the roasted peppers, transfer puree to a small saucepan, and stir in the cream, the sugar, and enough water to thin the sauce to the desired consistency.
   
2. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring, and keep it warm, covered, over low heat.
   
3. In another small saucepan combine the lemon juice, the butter, and salt and pepper to taste and heat the mixture over moderate heat until the butter is melted.
   
4. Measure the thickness of the halibut and broil the halibut on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat, basting it with the lemon butter and turning it once, for 7 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until it just flakes
   
5. While the halibut is broiling cook the bell pepper in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is crisp-tender. Spoon the sauce onto a heated platter, arrange the halibut on the sauce, and scatter the bell pepper over it. Serve 2
