Tips:

  • Choose the Right Halibut: Select firm and fresh halibut fillets with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Look for fillets that are opaque, not translucent, and have a slight sheen.
  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all your ingredients. This will ensure that you have everything you need on hand and the cooking process goes smoothly.
  • Use a Good Quality Sweet and Sour Sauce: The quality of your sweet and sour sauce will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Choose a sauce that is well-balanced, with a good combination of sweet, sour, and tangy flavors.
  • Don't Overcook the Halibut: Halibut cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked halibut will become tough and dry. Cook the halibut until it is just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve Immediately: Sweet and sour halibut is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the fish is hot, crispy, and flavorful.

Conclusion:
