Halibut fillets without skin

Skinless halibut fillets are fresh, clean cuts of halibut, a flatfish from cold waters known for its firm, white, and mild-flavored meat. This ingredient is ideal for a variety of recipes, from grilled to baked or in creamy sauces, thanks to its flaky texture and its ability to absorb flavors.

Halibut is primarily native to the cold waters of the North Pacific and North Atlantic, especially in regions near Alaska, Canada, and Scandinavian countries. It is a fish highly valued in gastronomy for its versatility and nutritional profile.

Regarding its properties, halibut fillets are an excellent source of lean protein and contain low levels of saturated fat. They also provide omega-3 fatty acids, essential for cardiovascular health, as well as B-complex vitamins and minerals such as selenium and magnesium.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, halibut may also be known as platija or simply halibut, although "platija" is a more general term used to refer to similar flatfish. However, for specific recipes, it is recommended to look for halibut fillets to ensure the quality and type of meat.
