Author Notes: Escarole has broad, flat leaves and is less bitter then other members of the endive family. Despite the difference in appearance, it resembles radicchio in taste. *VARIATION* Sea Bass, Salmon or Tilapia can easily be substitute for halibut. The same 8 minutes per inch of thickness cooking time would be applied - joannE.
Serves 1
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Fresh Dill, Chopped

- Preheat a small Dutch oven, or a saucepan with a tight fitting lid, over medium high heat.

Oh my - this recipe is sodium girl ready. No salt! I love all the fresh herbs and citrus that give it flavor. And I'm mildly obsessed with escarole, so this is a winner in my book.
