- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey

Preheat the broiler in your oven to high and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Pat the halibut steaks dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Brush both sides of each halibut steak with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper evenly.

Step 5
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, orange juice, granulated sugar, honey, fresh thyme leaves, and water.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated. Set the compote aside to cool slightly.
