Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
-
Lightly butter a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer.

Place the halibut steaks in the prepared dish and season lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper.
-
In a small bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, finely chopped green pepper, and finely chopped onion.
-
Spread the vegetable mixture evenly over the top of the fish steaks.
-
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the lemon juice and Tabasco sauce until well combined.
-
Drizzle the warm butter mixture evenly over the fish and vegetables.
-
Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste with the pan juices every 10 minutes to keep the fish moist.
-
Let rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow the juices to settle.
