Ingredients

• 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
• 1 lb Halibut fillet (skinless)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 4 quart Water (for boiling pasta)
• 1 tbsp Salt (for pasta water)

Directions

Step 1

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the boiling water, then cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Pat the halibut fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halibut fillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the halibut from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the butter and garlic.

Step 6

Gradually add 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 7

Stir in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, adjusting to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add small amounts of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 8

Flake the cooked halibut into large chunks and gently stir it into the skillet, being careful not to break the pieces apart too much.

Step 9

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle the dish with 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley for garnish. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
