My husband, 9 yr old, and I all liked it. I left out the chile paste with garlic (served it on the side) so my daughter would eat it. I would have preferred it in the sauce. I'm wishing the sauce had a little more depth of flavor, but I think it's because I left out the paste. The sauce was light, complemented the fish well, and was easy to make. I think when I make it again, I might try adding a squirt of lime juice for a little brightness. I will be making it again.
Malaysian Barbecue-Glazed Halibut
These fillets simultaneously taste sweet, salty, and slightly spicy from the Asian-inspired sauce that's brushed on them. Serve with long-grain rice, such as basmati.
