    This recipe is the best ever! I have been making it for years ever since it originally aired on the Surreal Gourmet. I usually use a mango instead of papaya. I love the look of serving out of a brown paper bag; however, I do not always use the brown paper bag. I will often use a small oven safe dish and place the sauce over the fish. Bob Blumer's recipes are all amazing.

    I seared each side just 20 seconds for color and then put it into parchment paper and baked it for just 8 Minutes. It turned out just right. I don't like when fish is cooked too long and gets dry.
    I used mango as I did not have papays and all together turned out really tasty!

    First time cooking in a paper bag.
    I liked the fish a lot and would make it again ! It was not the best dish I ever made, but I will make it again.

    This had wonderful flavor. We did Mango instead of papaya. The fish was cooked too long and was dry

    I'm new to cooking and eating fish, as is my fiance and we both loved this recipe. I made too much of the salsa which was nice because we used it on chicken and it was very tasty. I actually made this for my mother's birthday and she really loved it and told me what a great cook I am.

    This was great. Had to bake for a little longer...12 minutes and made guacamole with papaya to accompany. Also drizzled a bit of honey ontop of each filet before baking. Highly reccommended.

    One of the best halibut recipes I've tried. I always use parchment paper as I never have brown bags on hand. I've also substituted a little terriake in place of soy sauce on one occasion and it turned out well. You must only use fresh ginger. do not use powdered.
    Always a success.

    It looked like too many different flavors would ruin the fish. I was SO wrong. The fish and salsa were amazing. Presentation was a hit. This was a refreshing change from my usual garlic-lemon-butter fish.
