• In a medium to large pot bring 2 quarts of water, sugar, and salt to a boil.

• Boil for about 10 minutes or until halibut is nice and flaky.
• In the meantime, melt butter in a pot, but do not boil.
• Remove halibut from water, squeeze a little fresh lemon on it and serve with melted butter (I like to completely submerge my halibut in the melted butter, much like you would do with lobster).
