Ingredients

Halibut
8 (6-8oz) halibut fillets, skin removed
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tsp kosher salt

Sweet and Sour Sauce
1 cup ketchup
3/4 cup rice vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dry white wine

2 large celery stalks, diced
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 cups seeded and diced tomatoes
2 cups frozen green peas

Directions

1) Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.

2) Place fish on prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with 1/4 cup white wine and salt. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until fish flakes easily. Set aside.

3) For the sauce, in a large bowl, whisk ketchup, rice vinegar, sugar, soy, wine and sesame oil. Set aside.
