I used amberjack because that was what I had fresh. Absolutely delicious! I threw in some chopped green olives too to add to the color. Just spectacular. Thanks for sharing....made for Photo Tag Game.

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful purpose for halibut.I actually went right down the recipe and ended up with flavor perfection. Served with a carrot salad and Chickpea Flat Bread for a delicious meal. Made for Culinary Quest 2014.
