Notes

  • Buy fresh. When you are buying your halibut fillets, opt for firmer pieces that smell like the ocean. Look for white flesh and avoid if there is discoloration.
  • Check the fish fillets for bones and remove them before cooking.
  • Avoid overcooking. For best results, it's recommended to slightly undercook halibut as it can dry out very easily. 
  • If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
