I made this for my husband after he found out he had high cholesterol. I made the dressing with Flax Seed Oil and it was amazing....The fennel adds such an interesting flavor. I wouldn't change a thing in this recipe!
Perfect as is

I didn't change a thing about this recipe and it was absolutely perfect. Another spectacular, quick weeknight meal that is light and healthy yet hearty and satisfying. It took less than 20 minutes from start to finish and that included washing my greens. This is up there with the prosciutto wrapped scallopes in sun dried tomato pesto....easy and fantastic.
Light and Refreshing

Very light and refreshing. Mixed the halibut with store-bought Spring Mix which worked well.
Easy and wonderful

The salad is very versatile I make it with chicken or any kind of fish.
Refreshing!

I made this salad without the halibut, as I was already making a salmon for dinner. The flavors complemented the fish really well. The chickpeas and dressing add such a smoky flavor...delicious! Definitely a recipe that you can play with, which are the best kind!
nice and light

My family kids and all loved this recipe. We made this as a side dish, buy this would be a great light dinner all by itself.
Flavorful and easy

Delicious recipe with the following modifications-- Lightly flour,add salt and pepper to both sides of the fish, saute in oven-proof pan until just golden on each side, transfer to 350-375 degree oven for 5 mns. (don't overcook). Squeeze the juice of one lemon over cooked fish. (Not necessary to cut into chunks.) Place on top of mixed greens (store-bought Spring Mix bags work well).
Great salad, but the fish needed some oomph

The flavors in the salad and the dressing were terrific. I found the halibut itself to be bland, definitely the weakest link in the dish. Next time I think I will make some extra dressing and marinate the fish in it for 30 minutes or so. Also, the halibut filets I used were of a pretty normal size, but I found it hard to cook them all the way through in a grill pan. They needed to be transferred into the oven for a few minutes to cook in the centers. On an outdoor grill, I think cooking them with the lid closed for a few minutes would accomplish the same thing.
Awesome!

This recipe was wonderful! A couple of substitutions I made were using lemon juice instead of olive oil on the fish and regular lettuce for the frisee (my store didn't carry this.) I will definitely make this again. The dressing is delicious!

This was surprisingly good. My husband that isn't a HUGE fish fan even said that it was 'tasty' and he'd eat again. I took the advice of another reviewer and lightly floured, salt and peppered the fish before searing. Seared for 4 mins. a side and then put in the oven for 5 more minutes. This cooking time would depend on the thickness of the fish. It was so moist and flavorful. I also used spring mix with a small amount of romaine for some crunch in the salad mix. This will be in the front of my recipe file to use again and again.
Simple, fresh, and flavorful

I made this tonight for myself and three friends. I followed the recipe without any changes, and it was excellent. The dressing isn't overpowering, and the fennel adds an interesting flavor to the salad. I will definitely make this again.
