4 halibut fillets ( approx. 6-8 ounces each)
2 cups white vermouth
½ cup whipping cream
2 egg yolks
White pepper and salt ( to taste)
¼ cup finely chopped scallions
½ cup green seedless grapes( halved)
Method:
Place halibut fillets in a large frying pan and cover them with vermouth. Bring to a simmer on medium heat and cook until fish is just opaque. (5-9 minutes) Time will vary, depending on the thickness of the fillets. With a slotted spoon, transfer cooked fish to a warm platter.
