Steamed Fish and Vegetables

1 head broccoli, cut into florets 3 yellow squash or zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt 4 8-ounce skinless halibut fillets (about 1 inch thick) 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs (such as basil, flat-leaf parsley, or thyme) (optional) 2 lemons, halved Place a steamer in a large saucepan. Add enough water to reach just below it. Bring to a boil. Add the vegetables, cover, and steam until tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cover to keep warm. If necessary, add more water to the pan. Return to a boil. Season the halibut with the remaining salt and the pepper. Place the halibut on the steamer, cover, and cook until it flakes easily and is the same color throughout, about 7 minutes. Drizzle the halibut and vegetables with the oil. Sprinkle with the herbs (if using) and serve the lemon halves on the side.
