Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) halibut fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 large lemon (zested and juiced)
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice.

Step 4

In a large, ovenproof skillet (or a heavy-duty pan), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic mixture to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

Step 5

Place the halibut fillets in the skillet. Spoon some of the garlic mixture from the pan over the top of each fillet.

Step 6

Sear the fillets for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. If needed, work in batches.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the remaining lemon juice over the cooked fillets. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes.
