When I was pregnant my only cravings were for strawberry cupcakes and anything Thai. I couldn’t get enough of anything Thai especially since its cuisine powers all those sweet, sour, salty and spicy taste buds. However, just because the flavor profile of Thai cuisine is complex not all the recipes have to be especially when using seafood.
With a few key ingredients like sweet chili sauce, cilantro and corriander,, you too can be cooking up your own Eastern-influenced Thai-Style Halibut that will impress your family, friends and most of all, you!
The key to this dish and any meal you make with seafood is is selecting a great piece of fish. Halibut is a very versatile white fish you can use in many dishes and starting yesterday Market Street DFW received its first shipment of halibut. If you aren’t the type to cook with seafood because it seems too complicated, you just need these tips from Market Street to make you an aficionado.
Market Street has an incredible fish selection and if you still need a little help picking the right fish, how to cook it or even to get your fish steamed onsite, all you have to do is ask. While this dish could use almost any fish cut as a fillet or a steak, halibut cooks easily on the grill, stays together, pairs well with the chili sauce and the diversity of the other flavors with the flaky meat of the fish.
Fish Tip: Trying to figure out how much fish to purchase? Approximately one pound per person should be perfect.
Fish Tip: Wondering if the fish is cooked? Remember, fish continues to cook after you take it off the heat, so make sure NOT to overcook it.
Thai-Style Halibut
Ingredients
- 2–4 halibut steaks or fillets
- 3/4 cup Thai Chili Sauce (easily found in the Asian ingredient aisle)
- 3 Tbsp. fish sauce
- 6 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1/3 cup chopped corriander
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 5 cloves garlic (Tbsp. pureed garlic)
- 2 Tbsp. lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients but the fish in a bowl, stirring until completely mixed.
- Rinse the fish, pat fry and place in a baking dish. Pour half the marinade over the fish and turn fish until thoroughly covered in the marinade. Marinade for 1-24 hours. (Reserve the rest of marinade for sauce.)
- Brush grill with oil (I used an indoor one over the stove, but outdoors is always best), then cook fish each side for 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook.
- To serve, serve fish right off the grill over Jasmine rice or vegetables. Cover fish with warm sauce and then garnish with cilantro.
- Enjoy!

This looks incredible! I haven’t cooked much with Halibut before (generally I get tilapia or cod), but I am so going to try this.
Yum! That looks so good! My husband would go nuts, he loves halibut and love thai food. I’ll have to make it for him soon. Thanks for the recipe.
I love this recipe! It’s such a nice change for regular, boring fish recipes.
That sounds so mouth-watering. I can not wait to make this for my family!
What a great recipe. I can’t wait to try this. The flavors combination must be amazing and I am ready for a jazzed up dinner. Thanks for sharing. Repinned and tweeted.
I’m not sure I’ve ever had halibut but I do love baked and grilled fish. I will take that any day over fried. I wish restaurants would offer baked fish but most only do fried.
I need to look for a market around here that carries halibut. We love fish and many times order halibut when we go out to eat. It would be great to have a tasty recipe like this we could cook at home.
Oh my son would just love this. I could make this on his birthday!!
Wow, now this is a great cut of fish. And the recipe? How yummy… thanks for sharing
Yum, this looks delicious. I usually buy salmon or tilapia, but next time I’m going to pick up some halibut and give this recipe a try!
I love fish, but I am expecting. The thought grosses me out. Normally I’d be all over this!
This looks delicous! This sounds like a great recipe, I love to try new fish recipes!
wow, that looks so delicious! i love fish because of its quick cooking time, but i haven’t tried any thai style fish recipes! i’m going to make this for good friday!
Hi this looks delicious. I can’t wait to try it. What exactly is chopped coriander? Thanks!
Actually you can use cilantro:) or AKA Chinese cilantro. I’ can’t wait for you to make it!
What if a grill is not available? What recommendation do you have for cooking in the oven?
This dish combines wonder flavors together. I will definitely make this again. I cooked the fish in a Panko and Asian Parmesan flavored batter. It was incredible !! Thank you!
This was a hit! I made it for a family dinner for my parents and they loved it too!
