Easy and terrific
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This really easy dish is restaurant quality. The halibut cooks very easily, and the tomatoes add a wonderful flavor. The... grapeseed oil is the key to the dish, as it gives the fish a wonderful flavor. I will definitely make this again.Read more

I live in Florida and get the freshest fish right off the boat! I made this recipe using grouper and red snapper and it was... amazing! The grapeseed oil gave it a very good flavor. I received rave reviews from my family and friends. I love your recipes and show. Thank you again for another great recipe!Read more

AWESOME
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We were looking for salmon at the fishmonger. He recommended the halibut fillets because they were fresh, not frozen. We... love fish and although we had just had baked frozen halibut steajs over the weekend, we bought the fresh fillets anyway. This recipe rocks ! It was so easy and fast. We just finished eating and can't wait to make this recipe again. Thanks, Aaron. We have been a fan since you were on the Next Foodnetwork Star, through the eliminations and haven't missed a show. You are definitely a FN star who delivers the goodness in every recipe we have tried.Read more

First I have to say that I have been watching Aaron since he was competing to have a show and I was a fan since then.... Everything this man makes looks delicious!!!! I tried this recipe but used tilapia instead of halibut and it was very good and flavorful. Everyone at home loved it and I will definitely make it again. Aaron, you are awesome! Thanks!Read more
