Preparing the Halibut

1. Season the Halibut

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.

2. Heat the Pan

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

3. Sear the Halibut

Carefully place the halibut fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Making the Lemon Butter Sauce

4. Melt the Butter

In the same skillet used for the halibut, lower the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt.

5. Add Garlic

Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

6. Finish the Sauce

Stir in the fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, and lemon zest. Cook for an additional minute, stirring to combine.

Serving

7. Plate the Dish

Place the seared halibut fillets on plates and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

8. Enjoy

Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by your favorite sides.
