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.
