4 175 g halibut steaks; or cod steaks
2-3 lemons; zest and juice
a few tarragon sprigs
freshly ground black pepper
Yield: 4 servings
Place the halibut in a large shallow dish. Sprinkle over the lemon zest and juice, tarragon leaves and pepper. Turn the fish to coat with the lemon and herb mixture. Cover and leave to marinate for about 3 hours. Place each piece of fish on a sheet of foil large enough to enclose it. Spoon over a little of the marinade and wrap up the fish. Cook in a pre-heated moderately hot oven at 200 C / 400 F / Gas 6 for about 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the halibut. Unwrap and serve.
