Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Lemony aioli; Wine-roasted artichokes

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Swapped lingcod for halibut. Really fast and good, everyone grown ups and kids liked.

    Made this with salmon instead of halibut (one of the suggestions) - and it was dead easy and very tasty. Good to get all the veggies in the recipe as well. Will add to the weeknight rotation (we eat a lot of salmon!).

    I made the recipe exactly as written and everything turned out beautifully. Halibut is not something I normally splurge on, but a local grocery store had it on sale, so I took the plunge. It was perfect.

    This is so simple and easy, great for a quick dinner. The brown butter peas omg so good!

    This came together very quickly though our halibut fillets were very thick and took almost double the time. A good easy tasty weeknight dinner but not the best way to showcase an expensive piece of fish whatever the author says.

    I roasted 2 bunches of asparagus on a separate sheet pan; the stalks were medium thickness (I don't like the super skinny asparagus), so I put them in the oven 8 minutes before the fish. Although the green onions weren't super thick, I halved them as I worried they wouldn't be done otherwise (they cooked with the fish); they were flavorful, but difficult to cut and chew. The fish was relatively lean local halibut, which still turned out fairly moist. The peas were plenty buttery with 2-3 Tbsp butter. Overall, everything was delicious, and my family of 3 finished it all.
