I made it for company. Easy and very tasty. -
Delicious! Somewhat of a surprise, as I was not sure how the citrus would react with the Halibut. Try it with a wild rice recipe or rice pilaf. -
Love the citrus with the fish! I got raves from my family on this one! I used haddock instead of the halibut and got great results. Any white fish would be fine to use with this recipe!

Excellent recipe, there wasn't anything left afterwards. I used regular orange juice and ended up draining it into a little Windsor pot and cooking it down to intensify it. My husband really enjoyed it and our picky 2 year old loved it too! This is definitely a keeper!
