Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water, pat dry with paper towels, and cut into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. This will be the stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the halibut cubes to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned and just cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.
Return the cooked halibut to the skillet. Pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce and toss everything together gently to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the dish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately over steamed rice or enjoy as is.
