Poached Halibut
Poached Halibut Recipe
As far as poached fish go my personal favorite is poached halibut fish. A long-time staple in the diet of the hardy Alaskan natives. Halibut is a lean fish with mild, sweet tasting white flesh, large flakes and a firm but tender texture that goes perfectly with a variety of different poaching flavors. There are many different poached halibut recipes for you to try. For example, two of the best halibut recipes are butter poached halibut which is a delicious delicacy that melts in your mouth, and poached halibut white wine which offers a fresh and classy taste that is difficult to resist.

One of my recipes for cooking halibut is poached halibut with aromatic herbs. Poaching halibut with the right herbs allows for a taste like no other as the essential oils from the herbs mix with the poaching liquid and are cooked into the fish. That’s what I’ll be showing you how to cook today.
