Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or unsweetened apple juice
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons diced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; mix well. Pour half into a large resealable plastic bag; add halibut. Seal bag and turn to coat.
