Doneness
The flesh is opaque and flakes cleanly with a fork at 145 °F (63 °C). A translucent center needs more time; dry, crumbly fish has overcooked.
Oil & seasoning
Brush with oil and lemon so the lean fish stays moist.
Season with: salt, black pepper, garlic, lemon, dill.
Watch out for
- Halibut is lean and overcooks fast — pull right at 145 °F.
- Pat dry and oil lightly so it browns instead of steaming.
- Flip gently with a spatula; the flesh is delicate.
- Cook in a single layer with space between fillets.
