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.

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.

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.
