Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the halibut fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the fish marinate for 10 minutes while you prep other ingredients.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the marinated halibut fillets into the skillet, reserving any excess marinade. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Flip the fillets and pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the halibut from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Spoon the remaining pan sauce over the fillets.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an added citrusy kick.
