Why Have Fish for Dinner? For the Halibut!
I know, dumb joke. But I say it every single time I buy, cook or eat halibut. My family expects it now. And it makes ME laugh!
We’ve actually had this halibut (snicker) in our freezer for a while. A neighbor gave it to us several months ago, and I just have never done anything with it. When I pulled it out to thaw yesterday, I figured I’d go to my fall-back fish cooking method…butter, lemon, and pepper. But the closer I got to cooking time, the less I wanted the same-old, same-old. So, once again, the internet. (How did people cook without it?) I found a couple of recipes for rubs and I took bits and pieces from them and finished up with this beautiful (just look at that color!) rub.
And the flavor! KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF! I just wish I had only put the rub on the top of the fillet because it completely overshadowed the fish – very bold flavor. But good.
And it’ll make a delicious lunch tomorrow with a salad!
