Instructions
  1. (Halibut):

Drizzle lemon juice evenly among and over the top surface the fish steaks. Place baking sheet in oven and bake until nuts are golden brown and steaks are cooked opaque in color all the way through (about 15 minutes).

  7. Add the roasted peppers, vinegar, water and saffron threads; bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes.
  8. Remove pot from heat and using a hand immersion blender blend the mixture until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper (optional).
  9. To serve, spoon sauce over each fish steak and enjoy!
Notes
Tip: Sauce can be pureed using a cocktail blender if you do not have a hand immersion blender. Just be careful to not fill the blender more then ⅓ of the way full when adding a hot liquid. Start mixing by pulsing the blade slowly at first while holding your hand on the lid that is slightly vented to allow a crack of air into the blender bowl. This will prevent the lid from exploding off the blender (and all over you or your walls and ceiling) which can sometimes happen if you mix hot mixtures in a blender with a tightly closed lid.
