As usual I am walking around in the grocery store piecing together recipes in my head when I see that they have halibut on sale. So, never being one to pass up a good deal I went ahead with it. I [...]

When looking for meats (pork, beef, lamb) you are looking for marbling and fat. The more far the juicier the meat. Let me just say that I love saffron and garlic and this recipe does not hold out [...]
