Instructions
Pat fillets dry with a paper towel; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
Cut 4 (15-inch) squares of parchment paper. Fold each square in half; open each. Divide shallot evenly among squares, placing near fold; top each with 1 fillet and 1 tablespoon salsa. Divide artichoke hearts and lemon slices evenly over fillets. Fold paper; seal edges well with narrow folds.
Place packets on a baking sheet.
Bake at 400 for 15 minutes or until a thermometer registers 140 to 145 when inserted through the paper into the fish.
Place 1 packet on each of 4 plates; cut open.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Halibut can be paired with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Zind-Humbrecht Clos Windsbuhl Vendange Tardive Pinot Gris with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 99 dollars per bottle.
