Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) halibut fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 large lemon (zested and juiced)
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice.
In a large, ovenproof skillet (or a heavy-duty pan), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic mixture to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Place the halibut fillets in the skillet. Spoon some of the garlic mixture from the pan over the top of each fillet.
Sear the fillets for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. If needed, work in batches.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the cooked fillets. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes.
