Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets

  • 3 yellow squash or zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds

  • kosher salt and black pepper

  • 4 8-ounce skinless halibut fillets (about 1 inch thick)

  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, flat-leaf parsley, or thyme (optional)

  • 2 lemons, halved

Directions

  1. Place a steamer in a large saucepan. Add enough water to reach just below it. Bring to a boil.

  2. Add the broccoli and squash and steam, covered, until tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, season with ¼ teaspoon salt, and cover.

  3. If necessary, add more water to the pan. Return to a boil. Season the halibut with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

  4. Place the halibut on the steamer, cover, and cook until it flakes easily and is the same color throughout, about 7 minutes.

  5. Drizzle the halibut and vegetables with the oil. Sprinkle with the herbs (if using) and serve with the lemon halves.
