Categories     Mahi Mahi

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb mahi mahi fillet
12 ounces beer
1 tablespoon lemon juice
6 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cut fillets into 2 inch chunks and drizzle with the lemon juice.
  • Pour the beer into the bottom of a saucepan (if using fresh lemon juice, toss the leftover lemon rind in with beer) and place a collapsible vegetable steamer over the beer.
  • Bring the beer to a boil, place the fish chunks in the steamer, cover and steam for 5 to 10 minutes, dependent upon the thickness of the fish.
  • The fish will be rubbery if it is overcooked.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter with the garlic and salt (I heat it slowly until the garlic is no longer raw).
  • Remove the fish from the steamer and discard the beer/liquid/rind.
  • Serve the fish chunks with the garlic butter dipping sauce.

This recipe was told to me by the captain of the boat when halibut fishing. It is a very quick, simple, and tasty way to eat halibut!

This way of preparing Halibut makes it taste just like lobster, especially when dipped in melted butter. The texture is smooth and tender.

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup salt
1 pound halibut
1/2 cup butter ((sweet cream works great))
1 lemon

Steps:

  • In a medium to large pot bring 2 quarts of water, sugar, and salt to a boil.
  • Cut halibut into 2-3 large pieces (so it cooks faster) and add to water.
  • Boil for about 10 minutes or until halibut is nice and flaky.
  • In the meantime, melt butter in a pot, but do not boil.
  • Remove halibut from water, squeeze a little fresh lemon on it and serve with melted butter (I like to completely submerge my halibut in the melted butter, much like you would do with lobster).
