Pacific Halibut Burger with aioli

Ginger-Lime Aioli for Pacific Halibut Burgers, Salmon & More

June 18th, 2025

A Zesty Condiment for Seafood

Chef's note: Pacific Halibut Burgers can be broiled, grilled, baked, pan-fried, or air-fried. See the full array of Pacific Halibut Burger Cooking Methods for a complete list of options. 

Bright, zesty, and full of layered flavor, this ginger-lime aioli is a delicious sauce for seafood that’s perfect for summertime meals. The aioli is a delicious match with hearty Pacific Halibut Burgers, complementing the flavor of the preseasoned patties. Fresh ginger and lime bring brightness to the aioli, while garlic and honey round things out with a subtle warmth and sweetness. Slathered onto a toasted brioche bun, the ginger-lime aioli ties together every bite — especially when paired with a simple slaw of cucumbers, tangy pickled onions, and creamy crumbled feta.

Try serving the ginger-lime aioli as a sauce for grilled Pacific halibut fillets, alongside a serving platter of wild salmon, or even as a dip for steamed crab.

For the slaw, you can use store bought pickled onions or make a homemade batch using your favorite recipe. Alternatively, try making our simple recipe for pickled shallots — it’s easy to make with a couple of shallots, vinegar, salt, sugar, and a fresh chili, and it will last several weeks in your fridge.

Ginger-Lime Aioli for Pacific Halibut Burgers, Salmon & More

By Wild Alaskan Company

Note: The aioli and cucumber slaw do not require any cooking. The “cook time” listed in the recipe includes 30 minutes of resting time for the aioli, which allows the flavors to meld. While the aioli is resting, you can use that half hour of free time to cook the Pacific Halibut Burgers using your preferred method from the top of the blog post.
