Here’s a quick sheet pan dinner. I coated halibut fillet with a mayonnaise sauce and chopped pecans, which added a nice crunch and flavor to the fish. The halibut bakes on the sheet pan along with broccoli florets and sweet potato cubes to complete the meal.
Halibut is a tender fish that is tasty with a mild subtle sweetness. Other fish such as mahi mahi, swordfish or even tilapia will work with this dinner. It only takes 10 minutes to cook and there’s no pot to wash.
