POACHED HALIBUT with CHUNKY PINEAPPLE SALSA

“Poaching halibut is a quick and easy way to ensure good results, and when you serve the halibut with our sweet and savory salsa, the dish goes from really good to absolutely delicious.”


1 can (about 15-oz.) pineapple chunks in juice, undrained
1 seedless cucumber, peeled and diced (about 2-1/3-cups)
1 medium red pepper, chopped (about 3/4-cup)
2 tablespoons chopped red onions
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (optional)
1-3/4 cups chicken stock
¼ cup white wine
4 halibut filets (about 1-1/2 pounds)


Drain the pineapple and reserve 2/3-cup juice.

Stir the pineapple chunks, cucumber, red pepper, red onion, vinegar and hot pepper sauce, if desired, in a medium bowl.

Heat the stock, wine and reserved pineapple juice in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat to a boil. Add the fish to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve the fish with the pineapple salsa.
