Tips:

  • For a crispy coating: Before dredging the halibut in flour, coat it in a mixture of cornstarch and baking powder. This will create an extra crispy crust.
  • To make sure the halibut is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the halibut reaches 145°F (63°C) before removing it from the heat.
  • For a tangy sauce: Use rice vinegar instead of white vinegar in the sauce. Rice vinegar has a milder flavor that will not overpower the other ingredients.
  • To add more vegetables: Stir in some chopped bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas to the sauce.
  • For a spicier sauce: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce to the sauce.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour halibut is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The crispy halibut is coated in a tangy sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with rice or noodles for a complete meal.
