INSTRUCTIONS

FOR SAUCE
Preheat oven to 400F. and lightly oil a shallow baking pan.
Make sauce:
In a heavy saucepan boil wine with shallot until reduced to about 1/2 cup.
Remove pan from heat and whisk in lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and
parsley. Add oil in a stream, whisking until combined well, and season with
salt and pepper. Keep sauce warm.
In a small bowl stir together mayonnaise, capers, anchovies, and salt and
pepper to taste.
Pat halibut steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Spread mayonnaise
mixture evenly on top of steaks.
Peel potatoes and quarter lengthwise. Grate potatoes coarse, preferably
using a food processor. Pat a heaping 1/4 cup potato evenly on mayonnaise
mixture on each steak.
In a 12-inch non-stick skillet heat 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat
until hot but not smoking. Carefully arrange 2 steaks, potato sides down,
in oil and cook, pressing down occasionally with a slotted spatula, about 5
minutes, or until potato is golden brown and cooked through. Carefully
invert steaks as browned into oiled pan (potato sides should be up) and
season with salt and pepper. Repeat procedure with remaining steaks, adding
more oil to skillet if necessary.
Bake steaks in pan in middle of oven 10 to 15 minutes, or until just cooked
through.
Serve steaks with sauce and garnish with parsley.
Serves 6.
