Roasting halibut, which is naturally low in fat, preserves its delicate flavor while sealing in its natural moisture. The coconut and pineapple infuses the halibut with a tropical flair, making it a natural to be served with a pineapple fruit salsa and a side of steamed rice tossed with shreds of coconut.

Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) halibut fillets (about 1 inch thick)
Pinch of salt
Black pepper to taste
