HOW TO BROIL HALIBUT RECIPES

Here's a simple, flavorful preparation that works well with almost any fish. If you can't find halibut at the market, seek out another flaky white fish like sea bass, flounder, or cod. Try this recipe with lime, orange, or even grapefruit in place of the lemon for a flavorful change of pace. You can use 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh, minced thyme instead of the parsley or basil. Seek out rarer herb varieties too. You can also find them at ethnic markets if not at traditional grocery stores, or you can grow potted heirloom herbs on your patio or deck. Some lovely options that work well with fish: sorrel, chervil, shiso leaf (perilla), Thai basil, burnet, or borage.

Halibut fillets and steaks are very often broiled or deep-fried. Halibut meat is quite dense and lean, which means that if it's overcooked, it will be hard and dry. So, how do you make sure that you don't overcook your broiled halibut? Experience broiling fish or other meat will help, but ultimately a digital thermometer is going to be the tool that saves your broiled halibut. As your halibut broils, check the internal temperature of the meat; once it reaches 150 degrees Fahrenheit, take the meat out of the oven and off of the pan. Make sure to let it rest for a few minutes before eating it. If it still turns out too dry, serve it with a nice sauce like the one I use here—persimmon and fig compote. This recipe is to the right.
