So far keeping the temp low is the challege.  I pulled it off the heat to let it be.  Hope it doesn’t come out tough.

Put the pan with fish and butter in a water bath in a larger pan.  The water will help regulate temperature.  You can slide the set of pans half off one burner to reduce the BTUs going to the water that way.

Thanks Tedski.  I pulled it after I discovered the internal temp of the fish is to be 140, not the butter, and the fish certainly certainly was.  I pulled the pot off the stove to let it sit off the heat and it dropped nicely.  I think I saved it. :smt006

Looks tasty!!  Personally, I like my halibut to be ~125-130° F internal temp, just in case you want to experiment next time.
