White fish like halibut secretes an oily substance called glycine, a kind of amino acid, which gives off the sweet and buttery flavour characteristics of this kind of fish. Halibut is easy to find in supermarkets, and if this isn't available, codfish, monkfish, flounder or sole will do. If you buy the fish frozen, make sure to thaw it out first before cooking it.
Cooking time: 15 minutes
