Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Halibut steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the halibut steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, carefully place the halibut steaks into the pan.
Cook the halibut steaks for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is golden brown and the fish easily releases from the pan.
Flip the halibut steaks and reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
Spoon the melted butter and garlic over the halibut as it cooks on the second side for 3-4 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Turn off the heat and drizzle the halibut with fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
