Note

Halibut steaks can vary in thickness; adjust baking time slightly if your steaks are thicker than 1 inch.

If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, sear the fish in a regular skillet and transfer it to a baking dish before adding the sauce and baking.

Kippered salmon is salty, so taste before adding extra salt.

For a variation, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for some heat.

Serve immediately with steamed vegetables or a light salad.
