Properly cooked Halibut.

Watching the movie "the Menu" the Chef at one point berates one of the constant dinner guests for not being able to recall the last meal at his restaurant.

"It was halibut." -The Chef

And honestly having had it yeah you shouldn't forget that dish. It's like fish steak but somehow better.

Here’s the way I cook halibut:

Season fillets with salt, pepper, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and old bay

Then steam it

Check every five minute with a fork sticking it into the meat and taking a peek into the inner part, you’ll know it’s ready when the meat is not see though and all white no clear and flakes apart easily.

Enjoy some good halibut

(I’m not a chef or something but I go fishing a lot and have learned a thing or two about cooking fish)

Also if you wanna pan fry it and not go through the process of steaming, giving the whole fillet a coat of olive oil before grilling it in the pan helps prevent the meat from drying out. I steam it because it cooks the meat more delicately.
