STEAMED HALIBUT WITH CHILI LIME DRESSING
You can substitute other white fleshed fish for the halibut and if you don't have a steamer, you can wrap the fish in a loose foil packet and cook it in the oven for the same 9 to 11 minutes -- just be careful when you open the foil because the steam will rush out. And, depending on your palate, you can increase or decrease the garlic and the heat.

Tips:
- Choose fresh halibut: Look for firm, moist flesh with a mild, briny aroma. Avoid any fish with a slimy texture or a strong odor.
- Steam halibut gently: Steaming is a delicate cooking method that preserves the halibut's delicate flavor and texture. Avoid overcooking, as this will make the fish tough and dry.
- Use flavorful cooking liquid: The cooking liquid you use for steaming will infuse the halibut with flavor. Try using a combination of water, white wine, and herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
- Season the halibut well: Before steaming, season the halibut with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Serve immediately: Steamed halibut is best served immediately. The fish will continue to cook in the residual heat, so it's important to remove it from the steamer as soon as it's done.
Conclusion:
Steamed halibut is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. With its mild flavor and delicate texture, halibut is a great choice for people who are new to seafood. It's also a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins and minerals. Next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give steamed halibut a try. You won't be disappointed.
