fold-in Blue cheese and TWO cups of mushrooms.
Bake the halibut fillets in a pre-heated 400
dg

ON THE GAS-GRILL ---
Of all the halibut recipes this is the quickest to fix.
Ingredients:
Halibut Fillets
(any amount you want)
Ranch Dressing (any amount, Hidden Valley)
Lemon-Pepper (any amount you want)
Paprika (any amount you want)
Pre-heat the grill to it's maximum temperature.
Place a large piece of heavy-duty foil on
the
grill with the edges turned-up to form a
pan.
Place the halibut fillets on the foil-pan
with the
skin-side down. Close the lid and grill for
four
minutes. Open the lid and drain-off the liquid.
Pour Ranch dressing over the top of the fish
as you would a bar-b-que sauce, sprinkle
paprika
and lemon-pepper over the top. Close the
lid and
continue to grill for an additional four
minutes.
With a spatula, lift the fish from the foil-pan.
The skin will remain firmly stuck to the
foil-pan
for an easy clean-up after the grill cools
down.
--- CAPT. BRUCE'S BEER-BATTER HALIBUT ---
This is one of my favorite halibut recipes.
Ingredients:
Halibut
fillets (cut into 1" thick
strips, thawed)
Batter mix (Tempura batter-mix, from store)
Beer (stout malt-liquor style beer, warm & flat)
Seasoning (Old Bay brand seasoning mix)
Flour (Wondra brand finely sifted flour)
Cooking oil (olive or peanut oil is best)
Mix the batter-mix with the beer according
to
directions on the batter-mix box. Pre-heat
the
oil to 350 dg (use a thermometer). Dust the
halibut fillets in the dry flour, dip the
halibut
fillets in the batter and drop them in the
oil.
Turn them with a slotted spoon or tongs until
they turn a golden color (about a minute
or so).
Remove them from the oil and immediately
sprinkle the Old Bay seasoning over them.
A CAUTIONARY WORD ABOUT CALORIES:
Life is short, enjoy yourself! It's later
than you think.
