Planked Halibut with Almond Butter

Halibut's mild flavor and white flesh make preparation a snap, especially when you soak the fish in a delicious marinade. By leaving the Halibut fillet to soak for at least thirty minutes and up to two hours, you allow all the flavors to permeate the meat as well as help keep it tender and moist
