Ingredients
Fish
- 2 lbs halibut fillet
Seasoning
- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Fat
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Garnish
- 1 lemon (sliced)
- 2 tbsp herbs (parsley, green onions, cilantro, or dill)
Instructions
- Preheat Butter: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Season and Cook: Generously season the halibut fillets on all sides with garlic parsley salt. Gently place the fillets in the hot skillet. Arrange the lemon slices around the fish. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms on the bottom.
- Flip and Continue Cooking: Flip the halibut carefully, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the halibut from the skillet and place on serving plates. Lightly drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with your choice of fresh herbs such as parsley or dill. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Adjust the garlic parsley salt quantity if you prefer less sodium.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet to ensure even searing.
- Use fresh herbs for garnish to enhance the flavor and presentation.
- Halibut cooks quickly; avoid overcooking to keep it moist and tender.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
