For an even more elegant presentation, consider using clarified butter for brushing the phyllo; it will give a richer flavor and deeper golden color. Be careful not to overcook the halibut. It's done when it flakes easily with a fork. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, pairs beautifully with this dish.
