of fish. Bake in pre-heated oven until the halibut is cooked through and

For Saffron Rice: Combine chicken stock with saffron, allowing the saffron
to infuse the stock. Heat olive oil over medium heat in medium sauce
pan. Add onion and cook until transparent, but not browned. Add rice
to pan and cook, stirring to coat with oil, about 2 minutes. Add infused
stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce
heat to low. Simmer for 18 minutes. Turn off heat and let stand, covered,for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and season to taste if needed.
