Broiled halibut with lemon and herbs

Here's a simple, flavorful preparation that works well with almost any fish. If you can't find halibut at the market, seek out another flaky white fish like sea bass, flounder, or cod. Try this recipe with lime, orange, or even grapefruit in place of the lemon for a flavorful change of pace. You can use 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh, minced thyme instead of the parsley or basil. Seek out rarer herb varieties too. You can also find them at ethnic markets if not at traditional grocery stores, or you can grow potted heirloom herbs on your patio or deck. Some lovely options that work well with fish: sorrel, chervil, shiso leaf (perilla), Thai basil, burnet, or borage.
