We eat a lot of halibut in our house, thanks to my father in law and husband. They go on fishing trips to Alaska each summer (have I told you that’s how we met?). Anyway, I love that our freezer is stocked almost year round with the wild fish, caught by my manly man.
We have to come up with a lot of recipes for halibut, we aren’t getting sick of it anytime soon. One of our favorite recipes is grilled halibut with mango salsa. We typically pour it on the whole fish filet, but this time we thought “Hey this could be a great appetizer too!”
