Caribbean Lime Halibut Recipe

Caribbean Lime Halibut Recipe

This Caribbean lime halibut recipe is a very easy and delicious way to prepare fish. Pan-frying to start seals the juices in so this is not a dry fish. Three tablespoons of Lime Boost can be substituted for lime and sugar. Slightly sweeter but works just as well.
