Halibut Recipe

Just For the Halibut!

Favorite Restaurant Fish Recipe

This is an easy, but delicious, restaurant Halibut Recipe that is especially good served over wild rice or pasta. The green chilies and Pepper Jack cheese give it a "southwestern flare."

This particular seafood is just as popular with the restaurant customers (guests) as is salmon.

Both fish provide recipe and menu flexibility. Grilled, baked, broiled, fried... as long as the recipe is right and the fish is quality, people love these seafood items.

So one day a restaurant guest asked me if we purchase whole fresh halibut and fillet the fish ourselves. We always purchased fresh product. If unavailable, then "flash frozen."

But to answer the guest, I simply showed her this picture. She understood immediately.

Fresh or flash-frozen fillets or steaks are the way to purchase the fish.
