What is Halibut?
Halibut is a flatfish found in deep waters of the oceans. It is the largest flatfish in the world, and the largest fish in the North Pacific Ocean. Halibut is a versatile fish that can be prepared in many ways. It has a mild flavor and firm texture, making it a good substitute for other white fish. It is high in protein, and is also a good source of niacin, phosphorus, selenium, vitamin B12, and zinc. Halibut is also high in omega-3 fatty acids. The average 4 oz serving of halibut has about 120 calories, 20 grams of protein, and less than 1 gram of fat.
Halibut Cooking Guide
Halibut can be baked, grilled, fried, poached, or steamed. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.
| # of Halibut | Method | Cook Temp | Avg Time | Finish Temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 fillets | Sear | Med-High | 4-7 mins | 145°F |
| 2 or more | Grill | 350°F | 10-15 mins | 145°F |
| 4 or more | Oven | 375°F | 15-20 mins | 145°F |
Note: The above guidelines are only guardrails. Average time depends on size/amount of fillets. Stoves and pans vary in performance as well; so to achieve perfectly cooked halibut, always check color and texture regularly. Because halibut is a leaner fish, its good to oil the fish before cooking to help retain its moisture.
