Reviews
Used what I had some kind of root vegetable that looks like garlic but tasted sweeter than a potato? Red pepper, sea salt, black pepper, lemon pepper, garlic pepper, onion, juice from a squeezed lemon half, and 1 roma tomato on 3 halibut steaks.
Basically followed recipe exception for following: used shallot instead of garlic, used talapia instead of halibut, and sprinkled a little grated parmesan cheese over tomato at end. Adjusted cooking time for fish as talapia is thinner. Will definitely make it again – very good, tasty, & filling.
So good and easy. I didn’t have zucchinni so used half yellow and half orange bell pepper and it was still delish. Will make again using zucchinni.
This was a perfect recipe for a quick & easy meal. I had a halibut filet to use and was too tired to make anything fancy so I tried this recipe. I used carrot instead of zucchini and fresh basil. Very tasty!
Was not impressed. Bland.
I squeezed a lime into mine. It was delicious!
The veggies were cooked well. Still can’t get the Halibut to stay perfectly moist. Will try one more time!
Looking for something healthy, and packed with layers of flavor… this is the one! Halibut here in Northern Illinois was $16.99 a pound today and DID NOT smell like the sea! I substituted the Halibut for Cod… Very nice, dusted with fresh basil and a squeeze of lemon at the end and served with brown rice… The results were a restaurant quality dinner for about $10.00 total.
I just made this for dinner tonight, and I have one word for you…WOW! After reading the reviews, I decided to rub the halibut steaks (yes, I used steaks, not filets) with olive oil, salt and pepper, and placed them in the bottom of a CorningWare dish. Then I sauteed the veggies (carrots, zucchini, snow peas, cauliflower, onions and lots of garlic) in olive oil for just a couple minutes and dumped them over the fish. Baked at 400 degrees for 20 minutes (omitting the tomato) and it was fabulous. I’ll be making this again.
Tried this one out on my wife since she wasn’t crazy about many of the other “fish” recipes I have tried. When asked, she said she would prefer this recipe over any of the others I have tried. Really liked the vegetable topping and I have them in the fridge all the time anyways. Great recipe and very easy to make and put together.
Halibut is one of our favorites and I had all the ingredients on hand, so I decided to try this out. It turned out quite well. I lightly sauteed my veggies separately so they wouldn’t get overdone. I seasoned my fish with salt, pepper, and Old Bay and added a couple of thin pats of butter on top of the fish. I then added the veggies over the top and added a glug of white wine around the fish. I baked this covered for 15 minutes and then uncovered for 15 minutes (my halibut was a little larger than called for in the recipe). This was very tasty and we both enjoyed it, even though I forgot the basil. I wouldn’t hesitate to make this one again.
My husband and I liked it, but didn’t love it. I thought it lacked flavor and I didn’t care for the halibut. Next time may use grouper like others suggest and tweak (add butter or basalmic vinegar) to add some flavor.
These were really good! Very fresh and healthy. I used grouper filets instead of halibut with nice results.
This was very good. I don’t know that the veggies did much to enhance the flavors of the fish, but I loved that this was an all-in-one meal. The veggies all complimented each other and the fish was a huge bonus. Thank you for posting this.
I thought this was really moist and tasty. Healthy enough to merit raves from my healthfreak son. I loved it. My cream sauce husband said good but not great.
This is a healthy staple in our house – hubby likes to go halibut fishing. I omit the tomato and mushroom and double the zucchini. It is amazing how much flavor comes from these simply sauteed vegetables. We also use red bell pepper, and use less oil.
I will definitely make this again. I used vegetables I had on hand and didn’t cook them as long so they would remain slightly crispy after baking with the fish. I also put put about 1/2 tbsp of butter in with the fish while it baked. Gives a nice rich flavor.
This recipe was good but lacked a little flavor. I drizzled balsamic vinegar over the top at the end and it deffinitly helped!
I guess I just don’t like halibut…I will try this with a different fish like tilapia or red snapper. I even put the fish in a frying pan for a couple of minutes so that it was less “poached” and I still didn’t really like it much. I love veggies, so that wasn’t the problem. My husband loved it though.
I’ve made this recipe twice now, and both times were delicious! Can’t wait to share it.
My family loved this recipe! We used orange roughy instead of halibut (we had it one hand) and the orange roughy gave the dish a buttery broth. It was fantastic.
