  • Season both sides of fillets with salt and black pepper. Brush the top of each fillet with 1 tablespoon cilantro sauce.

  • Fill a large high-sided skillet with 1 inch water. Set over high heat, and bring to a boil. Set a steamer basket in the skillet, and arrange fillets in basket. Cover, and steam until fish has just cooked through but is still moist, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove fish from steamer, drizzle with additional cilantro sauce, and serve.

Cook's Notes

Use the cilantro-ginger sauce as both a marinade and a serving sauce.

My sauce was too lime-y for us. Other ingredients were definitely overpowered. I'll reduce from the recipe's 3 tablespoons to 2 tablespoons next time. We still enjoyed the fish very much - but didn't add more of the sauce after steaming. (Purchased amazing quality halibut from my local Bristol Farms market - not easy to find fresh fish in a desert community.) I've recently begun trying different recipes and have enjoyed several of Martha's so far. Looking forward to trying this one again.

By far the best halibut recipe I have ever ran into.

This recipe is amazing! I used it with talapia last night. Any white fish should work. Next time we will double the sauce recipe because it's so delicious. I drizzled it over chips in a sort-of fish taco salad. YuMM!
