Best halibut recipes

Halibut, purple sprouting broccoli and preserved lemon

This halibut recipe comes from Angela Hartnett's Café Murano. The preserved lemon adds a real freshness to this dish. Plus, it's under 500 calories a portion.

Halibut with sesame soy sauce and buckwheat noodles

The flavours in this recipe are inspired by Chinese New Year traditions. Pan-fry halibut in groundnut oil until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through. Serve your fish with buckwheat soba noodles tossed in a sesame oil, mirin and soy sauce and a side of pak choi.

Pan-fried halibut with summer veg broth

This quick recipe for halibut comes together in less than 20 minutes. Orzo is a versatile short pasta that works well in a variety of dishes, including white fish. Here, the light pan-fried fish is served in a summery vegetable broth.

Halibut with caper beurre blanc and crushed Jersey Royals

Halibut pairs beautifully with a side of potatoes, which helps bulk up the dish and make it more filling. Jersey Royals have a brief season (from late April to June). Treat them simply and let their distinctive buttery, earthy flavour shine through.

Halibut parcels with coconut cream, chilli and lime

Barbecues aren’t just for meat. Asian-inspired parcels of fish, chicken or vegetables can be assembled in minutes and chilled until you’re ready to grill – use double-layered foil (or banana leaves for extra show-off factor).
