What sauce goes with halibut?

[bullseye]

Mango-Curry Chutney. Sweet and spicy, but not overwhelming.

Dave, that sounds really tasty, but I don't think I'd be able to taste the halibut in there. It has such a delicate flavor.

hi, halibut will taste lovely with lemon - caper sauce , Garlic Cilantro Sauce , limon banana sauce & sorrel sauce.

Thank you all so much for the recipes and suggestions. As it ended up, we had a very severe storm here yesterday, and so I had salad for dinner which was a bummer, good but not what I had my mind set on. Thanks again for all the great ideas!

Sorry amber it did not work out.

But as for sauce with halibut, I would go with a lightly seasoned buerre blanc.

cilantro yogurt sauce?

With Halibut, I like a nice dilled butter with lemon, sprinkle with medium course sea salt and fresh black pepper. I like the medium course, and a light sprinkle. You get the that little Zap of salt when you hit one of the crystals..

a very nice, light, white wine, herb and pureed tomato sauce with roasted garlic is my favourite sauce with halibut.

That sounds good. Which herb do you use?

[buckytom]

i've made it with a combo of thyme and savory, but i'd guess any light herb would do. i'd stay away from overpowering ones like rosemary or oregano.
