This is a wonderful recipe. I made this as written but used Chilean sea bass instead of halibut. Wonderful flavor from the Asian ingredients. We had this with steamed white rice for a delicious, easy and healthy dinner. Thanks for the recipe Valerie!

I currently live in Jensen Beach Florida which is a great place to live. I moved here from Orlando many years ago to live the life of a beach bum and have gotten quite good at it. I am actually a Yankee, but more of a Floridian every day. I absolutely love cooking for myself and other people. I love most foods and I'll try just about anything. However, I draw the line at game meat, rabbit, and things of that sort. I am a Paralegal, but cooking is a passion of mine. I hope you enjoy my recipes !
