When sautéing the halibut, avoid overcrowding the pan; this will prevent the fish from cooking evenly and may result in steaming rather than sautéing.
If you don't have white wine on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or vegetable broth.
To add a touch of smokiness to the dish, try grilling the halibut instead of sautéing or baking it.
Serve the halibut immediately after cooking to ensure the best texture and flavor.
