• In a 10-inch saucepan over high heat, bring bouillon to a boil. Season both sides of the halibut with salt and pepper. Add halibut to the pot, and adjust the heat until the liquid simmers. Poach for 5 to 6 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center of the fish meets little resistance or when left in the fillet for 5 seconds, the cake tester is warm to your lip. The halibut will be rare (thinner steaks will poach in less time). Transfer the steaks to a warm plate, and set aside.
• Add herbs to the vinaigrette, and warm over low heat. Remove the skin from the halibut, and place one steak in the center of each plate. Spoon vinaigrette over and around the fish. Serve immediately.

Transfer each fillet with a slotted spatula, blotting it with paper towels and reserving the cooking liquid, to a bed of herbs and top the scrod with the remaining herb mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of the reserved cooking liquid to the vinegar mixture, bring the mixture to a boil, and spoon it over the scrod.
