Preparation Tips
Halibut's firm texture makes it excellent for grilling, baking, or pan-searing. It can dry out quickly due to its low fat content, so it's best cooked with moisture-rich methods or served with sauces. Popular preparations include poaching in white wine, grilling with herbs and lemon, or pan-searing with a butter sauce.
