Fried marinated halibut is a true Mediterranean delight that embodies the traditions of coastal cuisines. Marinated in vinegar and onions, halibut gains a piquant depth of flavor that is then softened by a delicate golden crust after frying. The crispy surface contrasts with the juicy texture of the fish, while the freshness of parsley and lemon adds brightness and balance to the dish. This recipe evokes the marine freshness, simplicity, and sophistication of the Mediterranean, where each ingredient highlights the natural flavor of the fish. Fried halibut is perfect for both a cozy family dinner and an elegant feast, pairing well with light white wine and fresh vegetables.
