For the Blackened Halibut

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Halibut

    Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help achieve a nice sear.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Generously coat both sides of the halibut fillets with Cajun seasoning, pressing it into the fish to ensure it adheres.

  3. 3

    Heat the Skillet

    In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.

  4. 4

    Cook the Halibut

    Place the seasoned halibut fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a dark, blackened crust. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the halibut from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley.
