Note

If using dried dill instead of fresh, use 1 teaspoon and add it along with the mustard.

This recipe works well with other firm white fish such as cod, haddock, or sea bass if halibut is unavailable.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to prevent the fish from drying out.
