Halibut is a very mild, flaky tender white fish. We are lucky that we live in the Halibut Capital of the World! Yes Homer, Alaska is known for it’s Halibut. My husband spends about as much time out in his boat fishing for Halibut and Salmon as he does working! So our freezer is full of fish. I love that my daughter in law tries so many new recipes for fish and we get to enjoy the results. This Mediterranean Halibut is so tasty!
Mediterranean Halibut
I’ll share a little secret with you. Most fish recipes that use a white, mild flavored fish can be made with chicken instead! Yes it’s true. So if you are not fond of fish you could even make this recipe substituting chicken for the fish! It will be just as tasty. I would use white breast meat from the chicken when you substitute it in a recipe calling for fish. It will give you the best results.
But for those of you who love fish, here is another great gluten-free, dairy-free recipe for Halibut! Enjoy.

Looks very healthy and delish!
I’ve never had halibut, does it have the fishy flavor or is it more subdued?
It is one of the mildest fish flavors…very nice.
I love your Halibut recipe and this fish tastes so good and I love it more than salmon. I wonder if you have a good recipe to make salmon because I made some last week and it was awful. Thanks for the delicious halibut recipe.

I love fish and this sounds so good. Will be making this soon.
I like the mild tasting fish like halibut and always add lots of spices. I like to overdo the garlic in this too. This is an easy to fix recipe that’s good for you.
I am not sure if I ever had Halibut before. I usually have salmon or flounder, but I certainly would like to try this.
wow I haven’t had halibut or any other white fish in ages!!! This looks soo good I’d like to make it really soon!!
That looks and sounds fantastic! I think this is something my husband and son would love! I’m definitely making this for dinner soon!
Thank you for this recipe, I will have to fix this for my husband. He loves Hailbut fixed any way.

Wow! This sounds good. How awesome that you guys are able to have fresh fish! Much healthier than most of the stuff we can get in grocery stores around here, probably! Stopping by from This is How we Roll Thursday. Hope you have a great weekend!
I have never tried halibut but do.love Salmon. This recipe sounds great and the fish sounds great too. With its white, mild, flaky crust this really sounds like the fish and recipe for me!
I’ve never tasted halibut. You told me exactly what I wanted to know in the first line. White, mild, flaky and tender. That’s the only fish I’ll eat. I have to try this recipe. Thanks.
Hailbut is one of my favorite fish. Will have to try this receipe.
