Halibut Recipe
In light of the recent Salmon recipe favorites that were posted. What are your go to recipes for Halibut?
We did quite well on the halibut last year, and I'm looking for some ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Butter basted in a cast iron pan , c/w S&P, some capers and fresh squeezed lemon juice.
Simple recipe for a fish that doesn't need much help

I soak the halibut in ice cold water 24 hrs before cooking.
Drain water, use paper towels squeeze surface water off the Halibut.
Very low heat if using a burner, butter in the pan. Put Halibut
in pan. Spread about 1 tablespoon Mayo on top of each piece of Halibut.
Turn over a cook other side. No need to put Mayo on other side as
you should have some Mayo sauce in the bottom of the pan.
Recipe number two:
Cut mushrooms into very tiny pieces along with tiny pieces of green pepper.
Put into a small frying pan. Mix into the mushrooms & green pepper
Sweet Onion & Herb salad dressing. Only available at Walmart $2.00 a bottle
not much, just enough to make a nice saucy spread.
Butter in the frying pan, Halibut into the pan. Put mixed sauce on top of the Halibut. When one side cooked, turn over and put a bit of sauce on top the Halibut.
Recipe number 3
If the Halibut is to expensive. Do the same soak in cold water 24 hrs.
Fry in butter at very low heat and enough every morsel, it needs nothing more.

Halibut is one of the most bland fish there are, thus our term for them "chicken".
That however lends itself to damn near any dish you desire with it.
Personally I usually make them into a battered fish & chips, sashimi or cold smoked (rather lengthy process).
Highly over-rated IMHO, Lings at least have some Flavour!!
Cheers,
Nog

Oh my... halibut bland? Fresh from the ocean, there's nothing like it. Favourite fish.
Hot pan, some butter, bit of salt. Slap it on a plate with a bit of lemon juice.

I've yet to taste a bad halibut dish. It is by far my favourite fish. Probably the most versatile fish in my opinion. Works well in almost any recipe.

As mentioned battered is nice but use a thin batter so it doesn't overpower the fish. I like it baked with butter and capers...don't over cook it. Or...covered in mayonnaise and garlic. Actually the best fish sandwich I ever had was the mayo idea and slapped into a nice burger bun.

Chef, I've done the mayo thing with mediocre trout before to make it palatable.... but halibut?
It's not Chilean sea bass or sablefish but it's #3 for me.

As others have said, it is an extremely versatile fish. One of my personal favourites is to cut the halibut into one inch cubes, dip in an egg wash, coat in a mixture of dry pancake batter and Panko bread crumbs, then shallow fry til golden brown. Dust with your favourite dry rub for flavour if desired, however these nuggets are awesome by themselves or in fish tacos.

By far my favorite fish so I keep it simple. Sea salt and pepper then drizzled with some coconut oil and onto a hot pan or skillet. When its done another little bit of coconut oil and lime juice. While that's happening I like to fry some capers in coconut oil and garlic till they're crispy for a topping.

Some absolutely delicious sounding simple recipes. Halibut, capers, lemon, and butter. One of life's simple pleasures.

Rinse and dry the halibut with paper towel, put olive oil in frying pan with a bunch of mixed peppercorns, high heat, when the peppercorns start to "pop" like popcorn, put the halibut on top and sear until done (3-4 minutes) top with Thai sweet chili sauce ..easy peasy

Certainly can tell you're from Edmonton
Those of us who live right next to, and work the halibut grounds might have a slightly differing opinion. That's All Good though! The access I get by bringing a few along when I hunt over there is certainly worth the effort of dragging them along...
Cheers,
Nog

Born and raised on the rock. I've eaten fresh fish from both coasts, can't beat Atlantic. Can't even get a lobster out your way

I Feel for ya Bye!
Nothing better than our local lings, yelloweye and salmon.
As for those gignormous sea-bugs you call "lobster" we have Buddies back in your homeland that bomb them out our way (live) a couple times a year. Not Bad, but certainly no comparison to Dungees & King Crab ;-)
Cheers!

I use dill and lemon juice and either bake in the oven or cook it on the BBQ

BBq fish burgers. Salt & pepper and maybe a few other seasonings of your likings. Don't mask the flavor though.

Born and raised around it, we've had it almost every way imaginable.
Our favorite is coated and fried.
I've seen and tasted it with.. pancake flour, plain flour, whole wheat flour etc, but below is our favorite way to do it !!
cut the fillets into portion pieces....
salt and pepper each pc ...heavy on the pepper(if you like it)...
OR...if you prefer...sprinkle on your favorite spices..or rub mix instead...
dip into or drag thru a couple of beaten eggs (soaked completely both sides... some add a bit of Tabasco, or Franks to the eggs)...
next dip and cover completely in crushed crackers (rolling pin finely crushed in a Lg freezer bag)...if you don't like crackers per-say...try corn flakes, rice krispies, special K, Panko...whatever your taste buds like the best.
fry till golden brown on a lower to medium heat setting. (( too high of a heat will darken the coating mix too fast.
***IF...your cooking several frying pans full, take a moment and wipe out the excess crumbs left after the batch is done...keeps them from going black and ruining the next batch !!
Try it...enjoy it !!....shortmag
