To say the least: Fish is plentiful in Alaska.
A fish dish finds its way into the meal planning of our household often.
My favorite? Halibut.
Tip: For those fortunate enough to fish halibut, and eat it fresh, right out of the ocean;
a halibut 100 pounds, or less, is a keeper;
anything over that, consider it a trophy but, also consider letting it go.
Bigger doesn't
always equate to better;
at 60 pounds or less, halibut tastes best!I have a few different recipes for halibut that are among my favorites;
as a busy mom, anything for breakfast, lunch or dinner, cooked, or baked,
must remain simple;
this halibut bake takes 5 minutes of prep. time and 20 minutes in the oven.
And, if you like mayo., this recipe's for you!

Either choice pairs nicely with this dish and compliments it.
