Super refreshing summer-time recipe. Turned out great and will definitely make receipt again. Only change was I reduced cilantro, but butter sauce turned out very flavorful as is.
I don’t usually enjoy fish but tried this on Lake Superior whitefish and absolutely love it! Halibut was far more expensive for our area. Other than the fish substitute, I do exactly as noted. Thanks!
This was easy and delicious! It’s simple.
This is SO good. I baked it in the oven — didn’t have a grill available — and it turned out fabulous!
Yummy! Served over salad for a light, delicious summer dinner
Fantastic!
Loved it! Pan seared instead. I deglazed with tequila for added depth of flavor. Served with cauliflower rice pilaf and paired with a citrusy Riesling. Yum
Excellent recipe!Fresh Halabit from Rhode Island
This was really good. Made it exactly as written. Ingredients were just right. Very easy and fast and made me look good. Thank you for great recipe.
Delicious flavors! I felt the sauce needed more “wetness” so added quite a bit more butter, lime juice, and a bit more olive oil, too. The coarsely chopped garlic was a great touch. Definitely put the sauce together in the pan that the fish cooked in because that adds a lot of great flavor.
Delish! Perfect combo of ingredients. Easy! I grilled in skillet on stovetop as it was too cold for outdoors. Perfect!
I had cod loin in the fridge, so that is what I used. Turned out great, my husband and mother said it was great! Makes a nice change from battered fish.
There are only two of us and I only had a small piece of halibut. So I salted and peppered the fish and sautéed it in the olive butter adding the garlic when turning. I squeezed the lime juice over at this time. Browned beautifully on both sides. My husband doesn’t normally eat seafood but declared this dish excellent.
Have made this a couple times, once with dried cilantro, the second with fresh – fresh makes a big difference! Will most likely not use all the lime juice next time, it was a little too much for my taste. Served with risotto rice, delicious.
Very good. Both my husband and I enjoyed.
This recipe is excellent. Now, for those saying that it is bland here are my recommendations: Adjust the salt and pepper when preparing the butter. Add a bit of minced onion along with the garlic and cook it as directed. When you add the cilantro, add the juice of one extra lemon. Mine was “bland” because I used unsalted butter. My basic change was to add extra of mainly the ingredients that make this recipe. This, made all the difference without altering the recipe drastically.
I made this pretty much as written. Grilled the halibut on my Big Green Egg at about 400 degrees and used apple wood to smoke it. Marinated in lime juice for a couple of hours prior to grilling. Cooked fish to about 135 degrees internal temperature. With the cilantro butter, it was fantastic.
Another great recipe for halibut. This is great for an inexperienced fish cook.
Will definitely make this again
Delicious!! I wouldn’t change a thing.
It was so moist with great aroma.
