Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Chicken stock
Instructions
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the halibut fillets to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the fresh parsley, dill, chives, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and well combined.
Return the halibut fillets to the skillet, spooning the herb sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the fish.
Serve the halibut immediately, drizzling any remaining herb sauce over the top. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or steamed rice for a complete meal.
