8. Variations:

9. I make my own bread crumbs in a blender with stale bread. Sour dough bread is the best. If preparing in advance, you can marinate the fish in olive oil, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and parsley.
10. This recipe is great for people who say they do not like fish. Fresh halibut is not fishy.
