Ginger and Scallions over Mirin Halibut

This is one of my favorite recipes.
Mirin is a sweet Japanese rice wine
without the alcohol content,
Shiitake mushrooms enhance the flavor.

Ingredients:
3/4 lb halibut cut into 2 steaks
1/4 cups light vegetable broth
1/4 cup mirin rice wine
3 medium cloves garlic, chopped
1 TBS tamari (soy sauce)
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
1 TBS minced fresh ginger
2 cups fresh shitake mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 cup coarsely chopped scallion
salt and white pepper to taste

Directions:
Chop garlic and bring the broth and mirin wine
to a simmer on medium-high heat in a 10-inch skillet.
Add garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice,
ginger, scallions, and mushrooms.
Place halibut steaks on top,
reduce heat to low and cover.
Cook for about 5 minutes, depending on thickness.
Season with salt and pepper.
Remove steaks and place on a plate.
Spoon scallions and mushroom broth over fish and serve.
