Ingredients

4 halibut fillets (about 5 ounces each)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon saffron threads

Directions

Season both sides of halibut with salt and black pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add halibut and cook 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Remove fish from pan and set aside.

To the same pan, add artichoke hearts, broth and saffron. Bring to a simmer. Return fish to pan and simmer 2 minutes, until fish is fork-tender.

Bad Idea
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The bitterness from the artichokes overwhelmed the fish. Halibut is expensive and beautiful to look at when its white and... flakey, this was all bright yellow. Safron is an expensive dye and didn't add anything to this dish. I threw the other two portions out. Read more

Quick Meal with Average Flavor
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

We thought this was just O.K. Simple and fast. Perhaps my expectations were too high as I thought I would like it far better... because I really like all the ingredients used. Try it if you already have the Saffron, but don't buy it just for this recipe. Read more

This has tons of flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was great! I did not use saffron because it is an expensive spice that isn't used enough to be worth the cost. I... substituted paprika for the color and I do love the flavor too. Don't salt the halibut too much because the chicken stock has enough salt (unless you do low sodium). I cooked with couscous that I made with parsley and onions - so yummy!Read more

Great quick weeknight meal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Not sure why anyone would say it was flavorless, I thought it was full of flavor. Wonderful flavor. I served it with a... flavored couscous that had pine nuts and currants in it and it was a wonderful complement to the fish. Will definitely have it again and again.Read more

Nasty
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This is by far the worst thing you could ever do to halibut. My husband will eat anything and in his ever so polite way, he... said "honey, it would really be ok if you never made this again." Just the expense of the saffron would be a deterent. We love artichokes but this one is not going to my recipe box. If you haven't already tried this one, I would seriously rate it a -10 if that were on the scale.Read more

Edible

The recipe was edible but flavorless. Looks pretty on a plate.
