Halibut is known for its delicate sweet flavor, snow white color and firm flaky meat. It is an excellent source of high-quality protein and minerals, low in sodium, fat and calories and contains a minimum of bones.
Halibut meat is firm and very white. It has a mild taste and is very lean. This fish can be cooked in any manner, but when over cooked, it can easily dry out. It dries out more easily if you are using frozen halibut so care must be taken when cooking halibut.
It is a very light, flavourful and healthy dish. Try it!
