This page features some of our favorite recipes for what we believe to be the tastiest fish around ... halibut.

Italian Baked Halibut

1 lb halibut fillets or steaks

1 lemon, zest grated, juiced

4 yellow crookneck squash, shredded

2 medium tomatoes, chopped

1/4 cup onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon dried basil or oregano, crushed

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange fish in a single layer. Pour juice over fish and sprinkle with zest. Combine next 7 ingredients in a bowl and spread over fish. Drizzle with oil. Cover and bake 25-30 minutes, or until fish is flaky and cooked throughout.

Cajun Style Broiled Alaskan Halibut

2 tablespoons paprika

1 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 4oz halibut steaks, thawed

Prepare broiler. Combine all ingredients, except halibut, in a bowl and mix well. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon spice mixture over each halibut steak. Broil 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Save remaining spice mixture in an airtight container for future use.

Skewered Halibut with Honey Mustard Sauce

1 lb halibut fillets

1/4 lb streaky bacon

1/4 lb mushrooms

2 small onions

8 cherry tomatoes

1 lemon

oil

FOR THE SAUCE

2 teaspoons honey

1 egg yolk

1 tablespoon French mustard

1 1/2 tablespoon tarragon vinegar

1/4 pint sunflower or safflower oil

Cut the fish into large cubes, put it into a dish and sprinkle with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cut the onions into wedges, put them into a separate bowl with the mushrooms, add a good grinding of pepper, and oil and lemon juice- in the ration of 2 tablespoons oil to 1 tablespoon lemon. Leave to absorb flavors for an hour or more. Halve the bacon rashers, de-rind them, stretch and roll them up loosely.

The sauce can also be made in advance. Beat the honey, mustard and egg yolk together in a small bowl. Add the vinegar, a spoonful at a time, whisking it in with a balloon whisk or fork. Then add the oil, pouring it from a jug in a thin stream and whisking the contents of the bowl all the time as you pour. Continue whisking for about a minute until the sauce is a homogeneous thick cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Close to serving time, thread the fish, onions and mushrooms on to skewers, adding the bacon rolls and tomatoes here and there. Grill for 10 minutes or so under medium-high heat, turning and basting occasionally with the marinade liquid. Serve immediately with a dish of rice and sauce.

Halibut Enchiladas ... Thanks to Brice P. of Soldotna!

TWO CANS ENCHILADA SAUCE

¼ CUP CHOPPED FRESH CILANTRO

8 FLOUR TORTILLAS

2 LB. HALIBUT

¼ CUP SOUR CREAM

¼ CUP MAYONNAISE

GARLIC POWDER

1 FINELY CHOPPED FRESH GREEN BELL PEPPER

2-3 BUNCHES FINELY CHOPPED GREEN ONIONS

LEMON PEPPER

2 CUPS SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE

SALT

PEPPER

Preheat oven to 375

Add seasonings to the halibut and give it a light cook in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until it separates easily (starts to flake).

Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, green onions, green bell pepper and 1 cup of
cheddar cheese together in a bowl and then carefully fold in the halibut.

Pour half a can of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 13x9 baking dish.

Pour one can of enchilada sauce in a large shallow sauce pan. Dip the tortillas in the enchilada sauce one at a time, then spoon about ½ to ¾ cup of halibut mix across the center of the tortilla, roll it up and put it in the baking dish with the seam side down.

When finished rolling all the tortillas, pour what’s left of the enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle the other cup of cheddar cheese over the top too.

Cover with foil and bake for about 30-40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until halibut is thoroughly cooked and cheese on top is melted.

Serve with Mexican rice and refried beans or black beans. Avocado makes a nice garnish

White Chili ... out of this world! Thanks again to Rod 'n Real!

1 lb. great northern white beans, rinsed and drained

1 lb. cubed halibut

1 tbs. olive oil

2 medium onions, chopped

2 tsp. ground cumin

1 1/2 tsp. dry oregano, crumbled

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

5 cups chicken stock or broth

3 cups grated Monterey jack cheese

sour cream, salsa

Place the beans in a heavy, large pot. Add enough cold water to cover the beans at least 3 inches, and soak overnight. Drain the beans and remove from pot. In the same pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté in the garlic, chilies, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Add the beans and the chicken stock ... reduce heat and simmer for two hours, until the beans are tender. Add the halibut and cook over medium heat until the halibut can be flaked apart with a fork. When the fish is done, add the cheese and cook until the cheese is melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with sour cream and salsa ... and lots more cheese if you like!
