- TOP TIPS:
- For more even cooking, remove halibut from the refrigerator 15 to 20 minutes prior to baking.
- Overcooking your fish will result in a dry or chewy texture. I only cook my fish until it just starts to flake. Check the temperature and remove it from the oven when it reaches about 140 degrees. Cover with foil and let sit for 5 minutes. As it sits, the temperature will increase by about 5 degrees. The safe temperature of cooked fish is 145 degrees.
- SUBSTITUTIONS: Salmon, cod, and tilapia are great substitutions for halibut; Herbs de Provence or other unsalted seasoning blends may be used instead of Italian seasoning; pistachios or almonds can be used in place of pecans; panko breadcrumbs can be used in place of the nuts; Mayonnaise can be regular, light, or fat-free.
- SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with a wedge of lemon and some minced chives or parsley as garnish. Steam broccoli, green beans, or cauliflower for a simple side dish meal. A fresh green salad with a favorite salad dressing pairs well with halibut.
