DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375. Coarsely chop Onions, place into

Shallots, 1T. Thyme, Salt and Pepper. Toss and reserve.
6. Combine diced Cucumber, 8 T. Cucumber water, 8 T. Onion Puree,
Salt and Pepper in a small sauce pan. (Overly season the cucumbers)
7. Heat an ovenproof sauté pan and add 2 T. Olive Oil. Season
the Halibut and sprinkle with Wondra. Place Halibut in pan. When

8. While the Halibut is in the oven, heat the Cucumber mixture. Once
it is
heated, add 4 T. of the Dill Oil and Lemon Juice to taste. Add
Salt and Pepper if necessary. Reheat the Chanterelles.
