Not only would I not finish off this recipe; I wouldn't even start it. Nothing about this video is a good idea. The finished product looked awful; I could see why you thought you needed a bit more from the recipe. When you cook fish simpler is best. The Halibut is the king of the plate. The delicate buttery flavor of the heavy white flake fish should come through. Take a look at something like this.

Firstly, I should say that the way a finished product look doesn't matter to my taste buds. I've paid a lot of money to eat at expensive restaurants where they go through extreme processes to make the food a work of art, and I have hardly ever been more satisfied with the flavor than I would have by going to the golden arches. Examples of this are:
Dos Cielos (Barcelona, Spain)-cost 165 Euros(just for me)
Rouge(Calgary, Alberta)-Cost $215 dollars per person for Chef's tasting menu and Premium Wine pairing.
And I have gone to many others that have always disappointed me. I guess I am just not a fine dining type of guy. I do realize that lots of Chefs have a lot of pride in the way they present their food, but lots of the time I feel like they put more effort into the appearance than the flavor. Which as a customer that cares about flavor, seems a bit ridiculous to me.
But anyway, everyone is free to have their own opinions. You have yours, I have mine. That halibut tasted great yesterday, it looked good enough to eat to me, and I am sure with the pointers from the people above, it will taste even better.
