GARLIC BUTTER GLAZED HALIBUT

About

Brenda Gantt

I am a self-taught cook. I started cooking around 18 years old. I stood in the kitchen and watched my mother, who was my biggest inspiration at the time, cook.

If you have picky eaters in your house, halibut is the fish for you, because it really does taste like chicken! It’s also a no-brainer to cook in the pressure cooker, so give this delicious dish a try. The halibut cooks in a garlic, lemon, and butter sauce, which makes the fish succulent and juicy. It’s terrific served with potatoes au gratin (topped with cheese and bread crumbs) and roasted asparagus.
