Rinse the halibut steaks under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Place the halibut steaks in a 9 x 13 inch oven-proof baking dish.

In a medium frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
