Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 garlic cloves -- peeled, crush
fresh rosemary -- handful
fresh oregano -- handful
Italian parsley -- handful
black pepper -- fresh ground
fresh fish filets or steaks -- (thick halibut or -- salmon)
2 cups [800 g] olive oil
salt
garnish with lemon wedges

Place the garlic, rosemary, oregano, parsley and black pepper in a food processor and chop coarsely. Rub both sides of desired fish and place in a glass baking dish. (Do not add any salt or acids such as lemon juice or vinegar at this time!) Add the oil and turn the fish a couple of times. The fish should be nearly or completely submerged in the oil. For best results, the fish should be covered and refrigerated overnight. You may also marinate it for a few hours.

To cook, pat off the excess oil and lightly salt to taste. Grill, broil, or bake to your liking. Do not over cook! Serve with lemon wedges. The leftover herbed oil can be refrigerated for a few day and reused only for fresh seafood preparation.
