Let’s Get Cooking!

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create a luscious glaze. Set it aside for a moment.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat, then add olive oil and let it heat up until shimmering, you’ll know it’s ready when you see it shining and the oil slightly rippling.
While the skillet is heating, season the halibut fillets with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. This is a simple step, but it really makes a difference in flavor!
Once the pan is ready, add the halibut fillets, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. You want it to be golden on the outside a pretty, crispy crust is just sublime!
During the last minute of cooking, take that delicious glaze you set aside and brush it generously over the halibut. The sweet soy glaze is going to caramelize beautifully on the fish, and you’ll catch those amazing smells wafting through your kitchen!
When they’re done, carefully remove the fillets from the heat and garnish generously with sliced green onions. Then, serve and watch your family dig in, they’ll love it!

Serving Suggestions

This Ginger Soy Glazed Halibut is absolutely fantastic served over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa. You can also pair it with some sautéed greens like bok choy or spinach to add a pop of color and nutrients to your dinner plate.

Storage and Reheating

If you happen to have leftovers (which is a rare occurrence!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. When reheating, gently warm it in the skillet over low heat to avoid drying out the fish. You can also pop it in the microwave, but be mindful not to overheat it!

Freezer Friendly

I’d say this dish is not the best candidate for freezing due to the delicate nature of the fish, but if you do freeze it, ensure it’s sealed well and use it within 1 month. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
