Husband loved it. Me, not so much. I think it was the mustard and egg flavors in the sauce — had hoped for something super fresh and zingy tasting. I may try again without the egg and a lot less mustard.
The sauce is very tasty...although I made some adjustments due to lack of ingredients. But,...DO NOT STEAM HALIBUT! I used local CA, but it turned soft and mushy. No, I didn’t overlook. I use halibut often. I realize it needs a sauce for taste, but I always sauté. Next time I’ll sauté, then cover then sauce. BTW, no need to purée the sauce. I just diced and wisked.
