Halibut is a hearty fish that pairs well with strong, fresh flavors, such as this refreshing cilantro vinaigrette.Notes:
- The halibut will cook quickly in the 400 degree oven. If pairing with another recipe that also requires an oven, cook the halibut last. Or, if temperatures are similar, cook together, but keep in mind it might add a few minutes to the cooking time.
