Baked Halibut in Creamy Mushroom SaucE
Halibut is a mild, sweet and meaty saltwater fish and a good alternative for those who are tired of salmon. It’s delicious poached, grilled, or baked with just a bit of lemon or a panko crust, or a baked with a rich mushroom sauce like this recipe. You can also use sea bass, tilapia or cod in this recipe if halibut is unavailable or too pricey.
