Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 whole (zested and juiced) Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and ground black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix well to create an herb mixture.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until melted and bubbling.
Add the halibut fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Sear for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Carefully flip the fillets and remove the skillet from heat. Top each fillet with a portion of the herb mixture.
Arrange the rosemary and thyme sprigs around and under the fillets in the skillet. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fish.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs. Sprinkle additional fresh parsley over the fish if desired.
Serve the herb cooked halibut hot, with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or steamed rice. Enjoy!
