Instructions
- In a medium to large pot bring 2 quarts of water, sugar, and salt to a boil on medium-high heat.
- Cut halibut into 2-3 large pieces (so it cooks faster) and add to boiling water.
- Boil for about 10 minutes or until halibut is nice and flaky.
- In the meantime, melt butter in a pot, but do not boil.
- Remove halibut from water, squeeze a little fresh lemon on it and serve with melted butter (I like to completely submerge my halibut in the melted butter, much like you would do with lobster).
Notes
- Enjoy your poor man's lobster recipe by dipping your white fish fillets deeply in a bowl of butter and having lemon slices on standby.
