Healthy Cooking Tips:
Halibut can dry out easily, so it is important not to overcook it. Because stove temperatures vary, keep a close eye on your halibut and check for doneness starting about 1 minute after you turn it. Insert the tip of a knife into the thickest part of the fish. It should flake easily, but still be moist. Cook it a little less than done, and remove it from the heat. It will continue to cook and be perfect when you eat it. For those who are sensitive to fats, by all means go light on the olive oil. If not, use the recommended 3 TBS for best flavor. You may choose to toss a little of the dressing with the greens before placing the halibut on top. Then place a spoonful on top of the halibut. This way you get the wonderful sage flavor evenly throughout your salad.
