This is one of my absolute favorite dishes. It’s so simple, so fresh, and so delicious. It’s hard to get fresh halibut, but our grocery store just got some in. We’ll see it a bit more during the summer months. So try this now, because come fall and winter it will be scarce! I had it with a lovely Pouilly-Fuissé by Henry Fessy.

I served this meal with my Spinach Salad – Only I subbed in grapefruit and walnut oil. Like I said before this salad recipe is fail-proof. Any nut oil (or even olive) and any citrus!
