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.
