Halibut

My husband started fishing on his kayak in the harbor and he's catching halibut and Calico Bass. I think will be eating fish a lot at least once a week.

Do you have any good recipes you would like to share because I rarely cook fish unless it's trout on a camping trip, LOL.

Halibut is a firm white fish that can be cooked in lots of ways: simmered, fried, sauteed, roasted.

A personal favourite that requires only pantry type ingredients on this end:

HTH and may your freezer have lots of space!

I love grilled halibut. Usually salt and pepper and grill for about 4 minutes a side. Wife makes a great lemon vinaigrette to go with it.

X2 - and perhaps a little lemon butter ;o)

Or mock lobster. Halibut chunks poached in water with sugar and salt added, then dipped in butter.

Don't forget the cheek meat...best part of the halibut.

Good fish taco fare.

I love halibut, especially Parmesean encrusted halibut. It melts in your mouth.

Here is one recipe...
Parmesan Encrusted Halibut

I take a 1" Halibut filet and brush it with Olive Oil, both sides, then take thinly sliced potatoes and line both side of the fish ans salt & pepper and lightly saute each side. Very yummy.

HEAVENLY HALIBUT

1 Fresh Halibut, cut in 1” cubes
To your favorite Tempura batter, add beer instead of water and dip each cube to coat completely. Fry until done.

Tastes like candy!

Thanks for sharing your fish recipes. I tried this recipe last night on Calico Bass and it was absolutely delicious.
Secret Fried Halibut Recipe


Secret Fried Halibut Recipe

About This Recipe
"This is by far the BEST fried halibut I have EVER had! (That really says a lot being from Alaska you know hehe). Simple and delicious with a "secret" ingredient that will knock your socks off! Even my kids like it and they do not like fish at all. I find the perfect meal with this fish is "sticky rice" and creamed corn, but you decide for yourself!"

Ingredients
1 medium halibut fillet ( approx 3 lbs)
2 cups white flour
1 tablespoon seasoning salt (I used Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Seasonings Salt)
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 pinch onion powder
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard ( or to taste)
6 tablespoons vegetable oil ( amount will vary)

Directions
Cut halibut into portion size pieces (this will vary with every family); set aside.
In gallon ziplock bag combine all dry ingredients; seal bag and shake to mix. Add halibut pieces to dry ingredients and shake thoroughly again.
In small bowl combine mayonnaise and mustard; mix thoroughly (secret ingredient!).
Add some oil to skillet over med heat until oil begins to ripple. You will need to add more oil in small amounts at a time throughout cooking.

Add halibut a few pieces at a time to skillet until full. DO NOT OVERLAP FISH. Cook until just beginning to brown on bottom side and flip. Once turned, lightly baste browned side of fish with mayonnaise mixture. Turn fish once more and repeat basting. The key to this step is to re brown basted sides of fish before removing from pan. The pieces should turn a deep brown (not black but close). That is when you know they are done.
Serve while still hot. (May be kept in warm oven until all fish is done).

Glad you found one you liked:).
