Re: Halibut

Yum! Love halibut.
I drizzle a little EVOO in the bottom of a skillet, put a generous amount of sliced onions over that, place the halibut on top, cover and let the halibut steam over the onions. Serve with butter and lemon. Or hollandaise sauce.

Re: Halibut

Here's one from my friend, Ginger. She's an awesome cook!

HALIBUT STEAKS WITH MUSHROOMS (serves 4)
5 TBL butter
Four 1" thick halibut steaks
Salt & pepper
1 TBL minced shallots (I use minced green onions)
1/2 lb mushrooms, chopped
3 TBL dry white wine
1 TBL lemon juice
1 TBL chopped parsley

Preheat oven to 400̊. Lightly grease the center of 4 pieces of heavy foil with 1 TBL of the
butter. Place a steak on each piece of foil. Season w/salt & pepper.
Saute the shallots (or green onions) in the remaining butter until translucent. Add the
mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add the wine, lemon juice & parsley & continue to cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Spoon the mixture over the fish. Season w/salt & pepper to taste.
Draw the edges of the foil together & seal the packages. Bake for 15 minutes or until fish
flakes easily. Serve in the foil.

Re: Halibut

Thanks all for the suggestions and recipes. We had it once up in Alaska beer battered. That was definitely good. It's such a meaty type fish I think it will be good pretty much any way I fix it. The recipes w/the onions I think will add a nice flavor to it.

Re: Halibut

Being from Texas, the only thing I've had close to Halibut if flounder. I wonder if it is the same thing?
