Just For the Halibut! ...Santa Fe Halibut
A Favorite Restaurant Recipe


This is an easy, but delicious, restaurant halibut recipe that is especially good served over wild
rice or pasta.


The green chilies and Pepperjack cheese give it a "southwestern flare."


This particular seafood is just as popular with my restaurant customers (guests) as is salmon.


Both fish provide recipe and menu flexibility. Grilled, baked, broiled, fried... as long as the
recipe is right, people love these seafood items.

6 tablespoons tomato salsa


Instructions:
For each seafood recipe serving, repeat the following:



  • In the pocket of the fish fillet place the strip of green chili and the slice of cheese (folding
    the cheese over until it all fits inside)

  • Place fillets in a pie pan and pour wine and water around them

  • Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 10 minutes or until cheese is melting

  • Remove the fish to a plate and swirl the salsa in the pan to warm it and to pick up any
    pieces in the bottom of the pan


Pour over the fish tipped up on rice or pasta.


That’s all there is to it! You have a winning restaurant recipe!
