Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) horseradish purée (prepared horseradish)
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 1/2 lb (675 g) skinless halibut fillet, cut into 4 steaks

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of horseradish with the lemon zest, lemon juice, and oil. Add the halibut steaks and coat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
- Pour the vodka in a saucepan. Line a steamer with three lettuce leaves and place at the bottom of the pan. Top with the halibut steaks. Cover and bring to a boil. Steam for about 10 minutes. Remove the steamer from the pan and keep the fish aside on a warm plate.
