Notes
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. The internal temperature reaches about 130–135°F
Pre-cook the asparagus for about 5 minutes if you prefer it more well done.
