Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium (finely minced) Shallot
- 1 large (minced) Garlic clove
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces (crumbled) Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the halibut fillets for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Let it melt, then stir in the minced shallot and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shallot is soft and translucent.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the skillet. Stir constantly until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Return the halibut fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over each piece. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the dish rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve the Gorgonzola halibut hot, spooning extra sauce over the top and garnishing with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
