1 1/2 lbs halibut, cut into 8 pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon + 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Slice onion and chop garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out their hidden health-promoting properties. Rub halibut with lemon juice and season with a little salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon broth in a skillet. Sauté onion in broth over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the rest of the broth and carrots.
