Note

For the sweet and sour sauce, you can use a high-quality bottled sauce or make your own by combining pineapple juice, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and a touch of soy sauce.

If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the wheat flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend for dredging.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain crispiness.

Halibut is a firm white fish, but you can substitute it with cod, haddock, or mahi-mahi if preferred.
