- 8 oz. Mushrooms, assorted varities

Allow the halibut to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking, this will allow the fish to cook more evenly.
Directions:
- To make the herb butter, combine butter with the parsley, lemon, garlic and shallot.
- Add a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Preheat the grill or oven to 450°F and soak the planks in hot water for at least 15 minutes.
- Place the halibut on the soaked planks. Rub the fish with a little oil and salt.
- Place in the grill or oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until done. The internal temperature should be 120-125°F.
