Step 1 Prepare halibut for cooking
Bring about 1-inch of whiskey to a boil in a deep frying pan; turn off heat. Place metal steamer basket in pan and open up sides. Line the steamer with lettuce, herbs, onion or citrus slices (without covering all the holes) to keep seafood from sticking. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water; place fillets in steamer.

Step 2 Cook halibut and serve
Return whiskey to a boil. Cover pan loosely and steam 5 to 7 minutes for frozen halibut or 4 to 5 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until seafood is opaque throughout. Season with salt.
Serve with roasted vegetables.
