    Very tasty recipe that looks amazing & it's so easy! Since we didn't have Halibut we used fresh Tilapia instead which worked out perfectly & cut the cooking time in half. One tip I followed was to make sure to cook the flour down for a few minutes after putting it in, before adding the milk, etc so the sauce doesnt have a "floury" taste. We also had the fish in the broiler a few min's longer than the recipe calls for.

    This is so elegant and easy...I used a very inexpensive pinot grigio and served it with asparagus. We've had it several times and it's a keeper!

    This was a very easy recipe to throw together while entertaining for dinner. Since a lot of the reviews said that the sauce was really oily, I did not add the Permesan cheese into the sauce (just on the top when broiling or the cubed butter on top as I thought that might be a little excessive. It turned out great. Will definitely become a favorite in our house when having company.

    We live on Kodiak Island, Alaska, which is the number 2 port for commercial fishing. We eat all fish and wild game. The broiled halibut dish was one of the best. My husband thought he died and went to heaven. I tried it on my sisterin law in Minnesota and she just couldn't stop with the compliments. I love many of your recipes. I have a fruit halibut recipe I will send you. thanks again. anna/kodiak alaska

    Love this recipe! I've used both halibut and Mahi Mahi after reading on of the other reviews. I think I prefer the Mahi Mahi but both are great! The sauce is my favorite. I steamed some broccoli and added a little sauce to it as well!

    I thought this was delicious as did the people I was feeding. I had sole on hand so I used that but will make it again tonight with halibut. Thanks Giada - another winner

    Wonderful!!! we eat a lot of fish in our house and am always looking for new ways to fix it. I always follow a new recipe "EXACTLY" as it is made on the show because that's the only way to rate it. This time I could not get halibut so had to commit the mortal sin and substitute with cod. Since it's a lighter fish I just poached it a shorter period of time and it was fine! I wouldn't change a thing on this one. To the one comment that the sauce was "bland", apparently she didn't do some thing right. Bechamel is the ultimate and easiest sauce to make, I even substitute it for the sauce in lasagna to rave reviews. Keep it up Giada.

    A BIG hit at my house! My husband is more picky than any 6-year-old and he asked for a second helping. The flavor was wonderful and this is now a family favorite. I used one large piece of halibut and decided that the chef didn't really mean for me to use the ENTIRE bottle of wine on the fish...So I left enough in the bottle to fill half a wine glass. My treat for working so hard on the meal!
