how do i cook halibut?

Answer 1

Halibut is a wonderful fish to cook. It has little oil and no overpowering flavor of its own. It takes sauces wonderfully, and the only thing you have to watch out for is to not dry it out during the cooking.

BAKED BLUE CHEESE HALIBUT

1/4 lb. blue cheese crumbles
1/2 qt. buttermilk
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup water
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp white pepper

2 lbs. halibut, cut into 5 oz. pieces
1 red onion, sliced
blue cheese crumbles

Mix all dressing ingredients, add water to thin if needed. Chill.
(or use prepared blue cheese dressing of your choice). Preheat
oven to 350F.

In a large baking dish layer a thin amount of the blue cheese
dressing. Lay fish on top and add another layer of dressing on
top. Cover with sliced red onion and blue cheese crumbles.

Bake until fish flakes easily.

4 lg halibut steaks, 1/2 lb each
3 tb finely chopped fresh ginger
6 tb finely chopped scallions

2 tb chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 tb Chinese sesame oil
1 1/2 tb minced fresh coriander

make a charcoal fire and, when the coals are ash white,
grill the halibut steaks for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, depending on their thickness.
Garnish with the chopped coriander and serve immediately.

Answer 2

I used to live in Alaska, and my dad recieved this recipe from the captian of the boat when he was halibut fishing once. I just love it. It's called "poor man's lobster"
Fill a pot with water (about a gallon).
Add 1 cup sugar, and bring to a boil.
Do not ever stir the mixture.
Add chunks of halibut, do not over crowd.
They will sink to the bottom, and then rise to the top when they are done.
It should take just a few minutes.
Remove with slotted spoon.
Remember to not stir the mixture.
Continue until all the halibut is cooked.
Dip in melted butter and eat!

Just about any way you want, but as with any fish do not over cook it. When it just flakes it's done.
I prefer baked with a light butter sauce.
