Grilled Halibut with Lima Bean and Roasted Tomato SauceJohn Kernick

Since lima and fava beans have a shorter growing season than most local tomatoes, we've given frozen edamame, available year-round, as an alternative to make this recipe more versatile.

Cooks' notes:

· If you aren't able to grill outdoors, fish can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat. · Fish can be seasoned 1 hour ahead and chilled, covered. · Be aware that fava beans can cause a potentially fatal reaction in some people of Mediterranean, African, and Pacific Rim descent. · Beans can be cooked and peeled 1 day ahead, then chilled in a sealed plastic bag. · Bean and roasted tomato sauce can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
