1		Large onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 1/4 lbs	1021g / 36oz	3cm thick halibut fillets
15 1/2 fl ozs	440ml	Natural yogurt
		Juice of half a lemon
1 teaspoon	5ml	Sugar
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Garam masala

1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Cayenne pepper

3 tablespoons	45ml	Vegetable oil
2 oz	56g	Unsalted cold butter cut into chunks

Recipe Instructions

Heat the oven to 190C/374 F, gas mark 5

Lay the onions on the bottom of a large based baking dish, one that is big enough to lay the fish flat in one layer. Cut the fish into four equal sized portions and place on the onions.

Mix the Yoghurt with the lemon juice, salt, pepper, garam masala, cumin, coriander, cayenne, ginger and oil, mixing well. Pour the sauce onto the fish, making sure that some of it goes under as well as over. Cover with either a lid or foil and bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the fish is cooked.

Pour off the sauce from the fish into a saucepan and boil to reduce to about 11fl oz of liquid. Whisk in the butter, and as soon as it is melted, pour over the fish and serve.
