If you have ever been afraid of cooking fish, this is a great starter recipe for you. You may have to adjust the height of your oven rack... check on the fish after 5 minutes, and if the top is cooking too quickly, lower it down a level, and if it's not cooking quickly enough, put it closer to the broiler. My 3 year old gobbled this right down, and then said, "More chicken please!" So you don't have to be afraid of any strong fishy flavors! Halibut is a very mild, firm fish, and it is extremely delicious.
Glaze:
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 Tbl cider vinegar
3 Tbl whole grain mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Whisk all glaze ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
4 halibut steaks, about 12 ounces each, or 8 (6 oz) halibut fillets
salt and pepper
Preheat the broiler on "high" for 2 minutes, and place the oven rack on the second from the highest rack. Line a baking sheet with tin foil, and place a wire rack over the top. (Or you can use your slotted broiler pan) Spray with cooking spray. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the wire rack or broiler pan, skin side down if you are using fillets. Brush the fish with 2 teaspoons of glaze per steak, or 1 teaspoon per fillet. Broil for about 10 minutes, until the fish flakes when prodded with a fork. Remove from the oven and serve, with an additional tablespoon of glaze drizzled over the top.
This meal is very good served with brown rice, salad, and a steamed green vegetable.
