Halibut is my favorite kind of fish to eat and order out. Its a white flaky fish and it’s got a very mild taste. In this recipe I’ve rubbed it with some pretty flavorful spices and topped it with my fresh pineapple-mango salsa. The rub is not spicy its just got a lot of flavor so don’t be scared- its not hot. The salsa adds a light freshness to the dish that I think is perfect. Not feeling the salsa, leave it off, but I guarantee it takes this halibut to the next level. Like my husband always says, “this is restaurant quality!”
