Tips:

For the most tender halibut, cook it to an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C).
If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander set over a pot of simmering water.
To make the chunky pineapple salsa, be sure to use fresh pineapple. Canned pineapple will not have the same flavor or texture.
If you like your salsa spicy, add a jalapeño pepper to the mix.
Serve the poached halibut with the chunky pineapple salsa and a side of rice or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Poached halibut is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. The delicate flavor of the halibut pairs perfectly with the sweet and tangy chunky pineapple salsa. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
