This dish is a great way to prepare halibut fillets, allowing them to be the star of the show with a simple yet delicious coating. Halibut is a versatile fish that can be paired with a variety of sides, from roasted vegetables to rice dishes or a simple salad. The subtle sweetness of honey adds an element of surprise to the dish, making it an exciting twist on a classic fried fish recipe.
