Notes
Can I use Frozen Halibut?
Yes, frozen halibut can be used in the recipe. It is totally fine! Halibut is often frozen right after it is caught, to maintain its freshness for a longer period of time.
How to pick the best Halibut possible?
Halibut (Pacific Halibut) is in season in the USA from March trough October.
Fresh halibut filets should have firm texture and slightly translucent, they should also have nice ocean smell, it should not smell fishy.
Overcooking
Halibut is a lean fish and should never be overcooked. Filets have almost no fat and it is tricky to not overcook it. Do not skip the olive oil and herb mixture and do not bake for longer than recommended. Filets should remain moist and tender.
