Halibut Cheeks and Vermouth

1/2 lb halibut cheeks
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp dry vermouth
1/2 lemon
pinch fresh dill, finely chopped
salt
pepper

Melt butter in pre-heated sautee pan.  Add the vermouth and the
juice of 1/2 lemon.  Add halibut, salt and freshly ground black
pepper and sautee for about 1 minute.  Turn, cover and finish
cooking on the other side, for a total cooking time (over low heat)
of about 8-9 minutes per inch of thickness of the fish.  (Start
with the lower amount; overcooked halibut is dry and stringy; cook
until flaky and tender.)
