3. While Halibut fillets are cooking, make the corn relish. Take a mixing bowl and combine 1 cup of Allens cut corn, 1/4 cup of diced red onions, 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1/2 cup of diced red and green bell peppers, and 1/4 cup of chopped pecans. Mix together well.
4. Once Halibut fillets are finished, place on dinner plates and add relish. Serve with sides.
