Lightly grease a 9 x 9 baking dish with margarine. Place cubed halibut in
baking dish, cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until
fish flakes easily with a fork. While fish is baking, prepare the Creole
sauce. Cook 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 minced garlic clove in 3 tablespoons
cooking oil until yellowed. Add 1/2 cup chopped green pepper, 1 bay leaf, 16
oz. can whole tomatoes (cut into bite-sized pieces), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8
